This seems to tie in well with the date discussion running here right now, btw. The date calculation functionss in WebDNA are only really effective if you use that peculiar US civilian date format *and* the server is set to use that format too. Once you start using international/US military date formats you end up with a horrible mess of hacks to work around WebDNA's shortcomings. Anyway, I suppose that explains the strange behaviour of iCab and IE. (But creates anther puzzle: how come Netscape actually gets the expiration date right when the format is wrong? ;-) Kenneth Grome also wrote: > > You *only* need the name and value parameters unless you're setting a > persistent cookie, but you're not. That is really useful information and I'll keep it in mind. I don't think I'll change it right now though. If IE accepts a cookie with an invalid expiration date but not one without an expiration date at all, what'll happen if I leave other parameters out as well?
