Detect if Cookies are enabled

[splendid9]

Is there any way to detect if the cookies are enabled in the browser for am ASP.net page. please reply me asap.

I think you can use javascript to detect if cookies are allowed?

[splendid9]

yea i got code in javascript to chk if thr browser supports, but i want to chk if the cookies are enabled and moreover if i try with javascript even that must be enabled in the browser.

I think they only way to find out is to try and see if they work.
There's not really any identifying protocal that you can rely on to find out.

Actually here is my probelm, first comes the login page and when trying to login blocking cookies it takes to another page where there is a agreement and have two buttons 'iagree' & 'cancel', Hitting iagree refreshes the page and hitting cancel logs off from the site taking back to login page.I want to chck if cookies enabled in the login button click and if so pop up one alert asking to enable cookies, if they r enabled, normal functioning.... .......but i cud not keep it in the login button click,i have tried many methods none of them are of use,.could you or anyone can help me out with this.


Thanks.

The javascript should work.
If they block javascript, NONE of your asp.net functions will work, since it's all based on javascript.

ok cud u tell me where to place this javascript and also i found different scripts for the same problem, cud yu tell me which will work correctly.

Add it to the onload event of the body element?
I'm sure any of the scripts you find on the web would work fine.

Navigator is generally a mozilla-specific keyword (mozilla/netscape/firefox)

Navigator is a JavaScript object containing information about the client browser - see http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_navigator.asp.

Huh. Oops. I've never seen it reference before outside of netscape-specific javascripting.

You may be confused with Netscape Navigator (browser name).
