I cleared my cookies and entered <a href="http://site.com">http://site.com</a> and <a href="http://www.site.com">http://www.site.com</a>. I have one folder (<a href="http://site.com">site.com</a>) with 3 files inside (<a href="http://site.com">site.com</a> :description = dhtml_menu, <a href="http://site.com">site.com</a> :description= long string of numbers and letters, and <a href="http://site.com">site.com</a>: description = long string of numbers and letters.). The path for all 3 files is /, but the host name for dhtml_menu is <a href="http://www.site.com">www.site.com</a>, and the other 2 are domain .<a href="http://site.com">site.com</a>. I'm not sure what all this means, but hopefully it can help us solve this issue.<br>
<br>Thanks again for the help.<br><br>Troy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 6:53 PM, Cog Rusty <<a href="mailto:cog.rusty@gmail.com">cog.rusty@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Can you check the cookie in your browser to see<br>
- if there is one or multiple cookie names for your site?<br>
- what is the cookie domain (is it '.<a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">example.com</a>')?<br>
- what is the cookie path (is it just '/')?<br>
