texte = Still trying to get to the bottom of this... At midnight (server time) the cookie was able to be written again. I may try to change the expiration time from 1 day to 24 hours to see if that works. If it does work I still want to figure this problem out though. My new cookie was set and the browser lists it's expiration date as 12:02 AM tomorrow. It doesn't list it as CST or GMT, but I'm pretty sure it goes by my computer's clock (CST). It was set with the 6 hour offset to account for the difference between GMT and CST. So if I delete the cookie and try to reset it during the 6 hours preceding midnight CST, it won't work. If I'm just adding a day, shouldn't it be relative to when it happened and not matter what time of the night it is? on 4/24/07 10:17 PM, Eddie Z at eddie@thinksite.com wrote: > Well the [setcookie name=nerconsecure... code is affected by the time of the > day for some reason.
