texte = Still trying to get to the bottom of this...At midnight (server time) the cookie was able to be written again. I may tryto 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 AMtomorrow. It doesn't list it as CST or GMT, but I'm pretty sure it goes bymy computer's clock (CST). It was set with the 6 hour offset to account forthe difference between GMT and CST. So if I delete the cookie and try toreset it during the 6 hours preceding midnight CST, it won't work. If I'mjust adding a day, shouldn't it be relative to when it happened and notmatter 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.
