IE8 setting cookies

[jesse1]

The following code works in IE7 and down but fails to set a cookie in IE8. Is anyone familiar with this problem.

<cfoutput>
    	<cfif url.sprok eq 2>      
           <cfcookie name = "sp"  >
           <cfcookie name = "sp" value = "#url.sprok#" expires = "never" >
	<cfelse>
	   <cfcookie name = "sp" value = "#url.sprok#"  >
      	</cfif>
</cfoutput>

sounds like a client security setting in IE8 not to accept cookies.

The cfoutput tags are not required in this application.

make sure you do not do a cflocation after you set cookies.

Also: while it might evaluate correctly the url variables are strings. <cfif url.sprok eq 2> sb <cfif url.sprok eq '2'>

Technically CFML is weakly typed so unless you want to cast every variable there's nothing wrong with that.

<cfset a = "1">
<cfset b = 2>
<cfset c = "3">
<cfoutput>
"a"+b = #a+b#
<br />
"a"+"c" = #a+c#
<br />
</cfoutput>

output:

a+b = 3
a+c = 4

IE8 does not like the first line in the if statement:
<cfcookie name = "sp" >

I must left it their by mistake but it only causes problems in IE8

The following code works fine.

<cfoutput>
      <cfif url.sprok eq 2>      
         <cfcookie name = "sp" value = "#url.sprok#" expires = "never" >
    <cfelse>
       <cfcookie name = "sp" value = "#url.sprok#"  >
          </cfif>
</cfoutput>
