Can't access cookes in IE6 / DebugBar forums

Kryptiq DevDude · 2008-05-29 16:51:35

I'd love to use this fantastic tool, but not allowing access to cookies in IE6. I've tried setting the browser option to maximum support for cookies and JavaScript, but nothing seems to work.

I also had this issue when trying to use similar "MultipleIEs" tool.

Here's my setup:

Platform: WindowsXP
Browser installed: IE7
IETester Verstion: v0.2.2

Hi,

Do you have , or can you provide a sample page with the problem ? A very basic page is enough, in order to have the bug and try to correct it.

Thanks.

Our app uses JavaScript to test the ability to set cookies. Here's an example page:

--------------------

<html>
<head><title>JS Cookie Access Test</title></head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setJsTesterCookie()
{
   createCookie("jsTesterCookie", "true", null, "mycompanysdomain.com" );
}
function createCookie(name,value,days,domain)
{
   if (days)
   {
   var date = new Date();
   date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
   var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
   }
   else var expires = "";
   var cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/;"
   if (domain != null)
   {
   cookie += "domain="+domain;
   }
   document.cookie = cookie;
}
setJsTesterCookie();
</script>
</body>

--------------------

Our application, which uses ASP.NET, can then check for the existence of the test cookie using this code:

--------------------

if (Context.Request.Cookies["jsTesterCookie"] == null)
{
Context.Response.Redirect("JsCookieWarning.aspx", true);
}

--------------------

Thanks ! I can reproduce it on my system.

The bug appears only on the IE6 instance.
IE5.5, IE7 and IE8 are handling correctly the cookie.

I will try to correct that on a future release.

Any news on this? I've noticed that machine administrators seem to avoid the problem, whereas limited users run into it... (at least in our company)

No news so far on this problem.
