It makes it sound like none of the webdna code in the template gets executed except for the [redirect], but that's simply not true. Nothing in the template gets displayed, of course, because the [redirect] sends the browser somewhere else -- but the webdna code appearing before the [redirect] tag *should* be executed as expected.There's probably some special interaction between [setcookie] and [redirect] that prevents the cookie from being set. The meta tag approach should work instead, or you could use [returnRaw] to set the cookie ...Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
