How to detect whether cookie is enabled or not.

Hi,
I have to detect in the ASP form with the help of javascript whether cookie is enable or disabled. I have tried with navigator.cookieenabled=true but this is not working. Is there any different solution for this.

Thanks and Regards

Firstly do you want to do client-side detection or server-side. You state an ASP form but the navigator object is client-side. And "cookieenabled" should be "cookieEnabled". Whichever way you try it's possible to use trial and error. Try to read a cookie. If nothing returns then try to set one and read the return value.

I have tried with this, but this is showing the same alert as "Cookie Enabled" what I have written as the error message for cookieEnabled=false.
Give some other option to find out.
