I assumt his test (just like when testing whether JavaScript is supported)
only checks whether the browser used SUPPORTS cookies (although they might
have been disabled by the user) ?

If so: the only real way of testing is by a multistep process sending a
cookie and then trying to read it back.

I have heard there is something called a 'virtual browser' which allows me to check asp and html output on the complete range of browsers without having to download each browser and version (side by side)....I did a google search and see a variety of links but nothing conclusive. Is there a standard product experienced asp developers are using..can you point me towards it? What are the limitations and challenges in using this product?

Why code completion and early error checking are needed

by: Steven T. Hatton | last post by:

Some people have suggested the desire for code completion and refined edit-time error detection are an indication of incompetence on the part of the programmer who wants such features. Unfortunately these ad hominem rhetorts are frequently introduced into purely technical discussions on the feasibility of supporting such functionality in C++. That usually serves to divert the discussion from the technical subject to a discussion of the...

Checking to see if a cookie exists

by: CES | last post by:

I'm sorry for the 101 question but I can't seem to get this to work... I'm tiring to test if a cookie has been created before. Everything I've seen indicates that Request.Cookies works the same in .net as it did in old asp but for some reason I'm getting "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when ever I attempt to test for the cookie . It doesn't return an error if the cookie exists but...

I was looking at different ways of doing the same thing and at the moment was looking at the use of "is" and "=", as I have at times found that I will do something like if something = 0 and will get an error that says I can't use "=" (or <>) in this case case I must use "is" ( or not something is). I am trying to find out when this is the case - when I can use the "=" and when I have to use "is.

checking for enabled cookies?

by: Jeff | last post by:

I have a vb.net application (2005) requiring session variables and want to test to make certain that the user's cookies are enabled. I can set a test session variable on one page and attempt to read it on the next with the code below in order to determine if the user has their browser's cookies enabled, but is there a good way to do this on the first/default page without a redirect to another page that will actually do the test? Thanks
