Question about javascript affiliate banners 2

[Aishaa]

Hi - I have an affiliate banner on one of my sites that isn't putting a cookie into my hard drive.

However when I click on it, it does take me to the affiliate sign up site. Since it does not leave a cookie on my hard drive Does that mean that if someone clicks on my banner and signs up as an affiliate without that cookie on his/her hard drive that I will not get the cash credit?

A little note: I do have the same site up elsewhere on the net and that one's affiliate banner does leave a cookie on my hard drive when I click on it.

I tried to redo the page in Front Page, but no go, I have the same no cookie syndrome...

I doen't matter, the cookie from the banner cannot be acessed from your sponserer's site anyway, your account is tracked by using a query string, i.e. the link to your sponserer should look something like this:

http://www.sponserer.com/someCGI.cgi?name=yourAccountName&somethingElse=something

Would this text string be right?

<size=6><STRONG><a href=&quot;

<font face=&quot;Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif&quot;>Check here </font> </a></STRONG></FONT></P>

I am particularly wondering whether the %7 should even be in there?

It's fine %7 is just a character that can't be put in a url, i'm not sure what 7 is, but if you put %20 it would be a space -Greg :-Q

It's not %7, it's %7E. URL-encoded characters are always two hex characters after a percent sign. Just look up 7E in an ASCII character table. 7E is a tilde (~). It's a common unix convention for url's that point to user directories to contain /~userid. Tracy Dryden
