JavaScript cookies (in subdirectories) and PHP file

Dear Experts:

I have a problem with my JS cookies. I am setting cookies in files
located in two different directories, e.g. one in ROOT, one in
ROOT/dir1/dir2. The cookies are then sent to PHP file (server-side)
which writes their values to a textfile, e.g. OUT.txt.

The cookies that are in ROOT are working perfectly. No problem. The
cookies set in ROOT/dir1/dir2, however, "seemed" to be set and read
correctly, although
they are never written into OUT.txt in the server. I have used:

javascript.aler t(document.cook ie);

to make sure that all the cookies are set and read properly. They are
displaying correct cookie values. I have also set the path of cookies
in ROOT/dir1/dir2 to ROOT directory, e.g. path=/, making sure the
cookies are accessible from anywhere in the domain.

I am running out of ideas what may cause the problem and hope you
could help me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do you write the cookies to the text file?

Be aware that when testing cookies this way, they will be available before
the cookie header is send. This is because in JavaScript, 'document' is an
object and 'cookie' a property of this object.

In PHP, the cookie is available not sooner then after a reload of the page.

Using javascript to set cookies is apparently not working in Firefox. Here's a simple test page that works in IE, Opera, Netscape, but not Firefox (The javascript is right on the page): http://web.njit.edu/~jmb2/Joel/test_css2.php In any of the browsers besides Firefox, you can set a cookie using PHP or Javascript, but with Firefox (with the code I'm using), you can only set a cookie using PHP.

I'm trying to write JavaScript code to test whether cookies are enabled by writing a cookie and then reading its value. My code works fine in Firefox, but it's not working in Internet Explorer 6. I have my privacy settings set to block all cookies, but my JavaScript can read and write cookies. Does this setting just block server cookies? That doesn't seem right. I can't find any other settings that deal with cookies in IE. Here's a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
