Hey! here ya go!
1st page called cookietest.asp put this in it.
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
response.cookies("enabled"
="1"
response.redirect("cookietest2.asp"
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------
now we check on the next page to get a result,
this page is called cookietest2.asp
place this in it,
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
if request.cookies("enabled"="1" then
response.write("cookies are enabled"
else
<!-- response.write("cookies are not enabled" -->
response.redirect("www.apple.com")
end if
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
thats it! of course you should change the redirect URL, and also if you wish to let the user know that they dont have cookies enable then simply UNQUOTE the <!-- response.write("cookies are not enabled" --> make it just response.write("cookies are not enabled" thats it! works like a charm!!

Thanks asp.
So basically we are just writing a cookie then reading it back?
Can I put both the response.cookie and the request.cookie on the same page?
Also am I right in saying that if cookies are enabled then session cookies are also enabled so I don't have to check for them?
Thanks

hi, me again
well i've done that and what happens is the response.write comes up saying cookies are enabled even tho i've turned them off but the little eye & no entry icon comes up saying they are blocked.
The redirect doesn't happen.
maybe it's an IE6 thing??
any more ideas??

make sure you go to tools/security and ADVANCED/ DISABLE ALLOW COOKIES AND ALLOW COOKIES PER SEESION, both must be off, this worked fine for me in explorer 5 and should be the same in 6, and yes you should be able to use them on the same page!! good luck!
