Cookie detection

[keyer]

Hi,
I want to simply detect whether the browser has cookies enabled, so I do as a test:

<script language='Javascript'>
<!--
if(document.cookie) {
document.write(&quot;yes to cookies&quot;
}
else
document.write(&quot;no to cookies&quot;
-->
</script>

With IE5.5 this returns &quot;no to cookies&quot; all the time, no matter whether I enable cookies or not.

Any idea what's going on? I also tried setting the cookie to something, like (document.cookie=&quot;&quot

Not 100% positive, but in other languages you often need to write a cookie, then reload the page, then read the cookie for this type of test to work.
