Check Cookies enabled via JavaScript

[Carpe Diem]

Hi,
I'm developing web pages for the browser netscape 4.78.
Now I try to check in my page whether the netscape browser showing the pages has c ookies enabled.
In netscape version 5 and 6 it works in JavaScript via navigator.c ookieEnabled. Is there an equivalent function for netscape version 4.78?

Thanks

I think the easiest way of testiung crossbrowser wise is:

  <script>
    document.cookie="test"; 
    isCookie = (document.cookie=="test");
    alert("Cookie enabled: " + isCookie);
  </script>

Thanks Eric,

it works that way.
Just one remark. To compare by equality that test is stored in the cookie failed because additionaly the jsessionid was also stored in the cookie. Bur checking for test as substring of the cookie contents was successfully.

Thanks again and bye

You cpould just test to see if the length of the cookie is greater then 0 too.
