please help

A guy in my CFUG has an urgent need of a method of testing the browser to see if cookies are turned on or not.  If anyone has some code they know works for this it would be appreciated. Just so you guys know why I care about some other guys problem, his (non-coder) supervisor promised something would be done by 1 pm today that needs this without checking with his developers.  If it doesn't happen the guy throws the blame down on the coders and they look bad.  I hate that.

I think you just need to set a cookie and then test if it exists. Diego ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com

Found this cookie-detecting javascript in the CF forums.  Haven't tested it myself though, so beware. document.cookie= "cookies=on"; if (document.cookie.indexOf("cookies=on")== -1) { alert('Your browser does not accept cookies, this will adversely effect the functionality of this site.
