Terry, if you mean I should check here: MacOS 10.5.8 > firefox > preferences > privacy > show cookies then yes, that is where I am seeing that expires="end of session" instead of what I expect expires="October 27, 2010 9:01:07 AM" (for example) -- I also just did add a [listcookies] to my page and (upon hitting it the second time, thus giving the cookie a chance to stick before asking webdna to see it) YES I see my cookie as I expect.. what matches on the browser cookie sheet. so all is as expected, *except* that the darn thing is set to expire at end of session instead of the future date I want/set. It is as if I have not used the 'expires' param in [setcookie..] but I have. (You saw the code I posted). ?? ------------ Govinda govinda.webdnatalk@gmail.com
