asp_web_howto thread: Cookies

I am writing a polling application that saves a cookie on the user's machine
so that they can only vote once. Everything works fine, however, when I set
a cookie with Internet Explorer, Netscape does not read the same value (and
vice versa). It is as if each browser is looking only at their own cookies.
Is this how things work?

I'm afraid that's the case.
Each browser has his own cache in wich it keeps the cookies

I posted the below a couple of days ago without seeing a response.
Hopefully, someone will have an idea.

I believe your repsonse was:

>>wentink@w...
>>www.webset.nl
Sorry if that isnt what you wanted. The idea is you will have to program
your webstie to tell what browser they are using. Based on what browser they
are using, look in that specific location for your cookie.

Okay, I must have missed the response - and that isn't what I wanted. <g>
Has anyone already written the code for this, or should I just go ahead and
start from scratch?

Netscape and IE don't store cookies the same way. IE stores a single cookie
in it's own file. Netscape stores all cookies in one file. And never the
twain shall meet. Also, cookies can easily be deleted, so your skeam may not
work as you would expect.

I'd like to prevent the situation where someone uses IE to cast their vote,
then Netscape to cast another vote.
This isn't critical (I'd write it much differently if it were), but it'd be
nice to be able to patch up this possibility.
