I have been testing some javascript for my professional society web
page, and found that I couldn't get Safari to save any cookies. No
matter what I assign to document.cookie, I get an empty string when I
read back document.cookie.
In researching this problem, I found a function on the Apple website
to test for cookies. I found that the function sometimes tells me
cookies are enabled and sometimes disabled, as follows:
1) Open the Safari Developers FAQ
(http://developer.apple.com/internet/...afari_faq.html)
2) Push the "Got Cookies?" button. I get the reply "You got cookies",
meaning that cookies are enabled.
3) Save the webpage to my hard disk.
4) Open the file that I just saved on the hard disk.
5) Push the "Got cookies?" button. I now get the reply "No cookies",
meaning that cookies are disabled.
Is there anything weird one must do to a website to get cookies to
work under Safari?
