Netscape 6 'Cookie Alerts' with Links2
I'm fairly new to Links2, installed it and have been testing it. I have been checked the FAQ, resources and forum for help but found no results.

Problem: Links2 works well in IE5 but will always show an 'Alert Cookie' with every page it uploads in Netscape6.
The pages load but the annoying alert cookies persist.

Has anyone experienced this or know of a solution??

-thanks in Advance

Strange problem... Links 2.01 does not use cookies so I'm not sure where the cookie prompts are coming from. Most likely it's a bug in Netscape. (BTW, a link to your site might be helpful.)

Happy coding,

Oooops.... U R absolutely correct a URL is helpfull...
www.the-link-network.com/links/pages. The site is in a testing prelaunch stage.

Other than the problem below, I'm also trying to figure out why the .com is dropped ONLY on the index.html page menu links. All permissions and correct links.cfg links are correct.

You could always turn cookie warnings off.

Alternatively, Netscape should tell you the cookie name and the script setting it. Could you paste what it says?

Paul,

Here's Netscape 'cookie alert message'......
"the connection was refused when attempting to contact www.the-link-network.com"

It appears that after a series of test... that problem lies in the style sheet code within the HTML. All other browsers do not have this problem, only NetScape6.

Well back to more testing......

I didn't have any problems when viewing your site. Not even with with cookie warnings turned on. (Netscape 6 build 2000080712)

Junko,

Thanks for the info and follow-up... :-). It appears that the netscape6 browser I have needs to be re-installed if you've experienced no problem when viewing.
