JavaScript cookie detection

[Vinay]

its my turn to ask a question this time

can somebody give me some code which does the following (really simple task, i just havent bothered to deal with client side code)

if user has cookies disabled, redirect to specific url...

thats all..

i was looking at some code, i thought if(document.cookie == "") would work, but maybe i'm wrong

thanks

Hey Vinay,

In IE, you can see if cookies are enabled with this:

navigator.cookieEnabled

but in NN, as far as I know, there is no way to check to see if cookies are enabled. What document.cookies would do is see if a cookie is there. I guess you could create a cookie, and then try to access it, and if you can't, then you know cookies aren't enabled.

hehe, i solved my problem..

i decided to go the "keep as much as possible server side" technique

i rewrote the code chunk to do the "Testing of a valid cookie" .. which isnt that easy in my case, since i'm dealing with multiple webservers for the authentication bit which is what i require the cookies for in the first place
