Hey Eddie, Kinda, there are security measures. if you started off with www.domain.com you are setting a limitation... so clients accessing the site with "domain.com" will not be able to access the www.domain.com cookie. Setcookie docs spell it out pretty well: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ref/pages.html?context=AllTags.html#SetCookie The only way/s to "log out" of www.domain.com when using domain.com would be to utilize a {redirect-to-url-www.domain.com -> setcookietohistory --> then redirect-to-url-domain.com}... The way to accommodate users from both domains is to not originally put a limitation on the domain host. Both www.domain.com and domain.com can access a cookie where it was set with an original domain of "domain.com". In your situation, I think you would have to do some error code that, when a client can't log out when accessing the site via "domain.com", you would redirect them to www.domain.com, set that cookie to history, then redirect them back. Eventually everones www.domain.com cookies would be deleted that way. I did a little test page that simplifies cookie behavior that may help you.. You can look in your cookie manager while using the page to see proof of what is happening..: http://euca.us/admin/tests/cookieset.html?flag=T - Donovan -- =o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o DONOVAN D.
