    cookies

    ok, i have the option for a user to select different styles to view my page in..
    <example>
    http://kidzonfire.org/new/?style=1
    http://kidzonfire.org/new/?style=3
    http://kidzonfire.org/new/?style=5
    </example>

    but... the styles selection page should set a cookie on the users system
    http://kidzonfire.org/new/?page=style

    It does, but ONLY for that current browser..
    ie, you load a new browser and it shows it in the default colors...

    I'll post the php in a reply in a second

      would it work if i set $style to $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["style"]???

        Browsers set cookies independantly of each other.
        IE saves cookies in C:\Windows\Temperary Internet Files\ as well as C:\Windows\Cookies\.
        Netscape saves them somewhere else. I don't know where, I don't use netscape.

          No, i load a new IE browser and it sets the style to 1.. not what the cookie was

            Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you ment you set a cookie with IE, and Netscape couldn't read it.

            Add an expire time. If that doesn't work, try adding a domain arguement.

            More info about setCookie() here.

                Sessions will solve part of the problem... but it wont remember the next time they visit.

                If that doesn't matter, then who cares. Bravo!

                  where are you passing the time argument to setcookie or are you doing that elsewhere?

                    id actually pass the whole setcookie again with domain, time, position etc etc
