javascript - ie7 cookies not being blocked on my site -

i adding feature website client, showing div on login page if cookies disabled. first started testing within chrome, turned off cookies, , after

if (document.cookies == "") {     // show div tell users cookies disabled on machine. } 

everything works. in codebehind on page_load attempting set cookie

protected void page_load(object sender, eventargs e)  {     response.cookies["test"].value = "test";     response.cookies["test"].expires = datetime.now.adddays(1); } 

all seems in chrome land. next, go on ie7, block cookies, , safety sake, delete history , cookies in case. expected see div didn't.

so, added else if (document.cookies == "" ) { } read cookie in javascript , sure enough there test cookie.

i went tools -> internnet options -> privacy tab -> , moved slider way top, 'block cookies'. in privacy tab, clicked 'advanced' button , set both first party cookies , third party cookies prompt. i'm thinking should blocked.

for example, test, go google.com in ie7, alerts me if want allow or block 2 cookies google.

is there special need doing check cookies disabled in ie7?

i have created cookies.js file, creating, reading, , deleting

function createcookie(name, value, days) {     var expires = "";     if (days) {         var date = new date();         date.settime(date.gettime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));         expires = "; expires=" + date.togmtstring();      }       document.cookie = name + "=" + value + expires + "; path=/"; }  function readcookie(name) {      //  we're going search name of cookie, followed =. create new string , put in nameeq     var nameeq = name + "=";      //  split document.cookie on semicolons. ca becomes array containing cookies set domain , path.     var ca = document.cookie.split(';');      (var = 0; < ca.length; i++) {          //  set c cookie checked.         var c = ca[i];          //  if first character space, remove using 'substring()' method. continue doing until first character not space.         while (c.charat(0) == ' ') c = c.substring(1, c.length);          //  string c begins name of current cookie. if name of desired cookie, we've found looking for.         //  need return value of cookie, part of c comes after nameeq.          //  returning value end function: mission accomplished.         if (c.indexof(nameeq) == 0) return c.substring(nameeq.length, c.length);      }      //  if after having gone through cookies, haven't found name looking for, cookie not present, return null.     return null;  }  function erasecookie(name) {     createcookie(name, "", -1); }  function cookiesenabled() {     if (document.cookies == "") {        return false;     }      return true; } 

just went ahead , downloaded jquery.cookie.js , in function checking if cookies eanbled, have this:

function cookiesenabled() {     var test_cookie = 'test_cookie';     $.cookie(test_cookie, true);     if ($.cookie(test_cookie)) {         $.cookie(test_cookie, null);         return true;     }     return false; } 

this working in chrome , firefox, not in ie7.

i tried this:

function cookiesenabled() {     var cookieenabled = (navigator.cookieenabled) ? true : false;      if (typeof navigator.cookieenabled === "undefined" && !cookieenabled) {         document.cookie = "testcookie";         cookieenabled = (document.cookie.indexof("testcookie") != -1) ? true : false;     }      return cookieenabled; } 

this did work. think @ 1 point or navigator.cookieenabled supported ie, appears chrome , firefox support well.

this thing starting on nerves!!!

here old test found.

does still work ie?

for other browsers needs setcookie, getcookie , delcookie function have if needed

function iscookieenabled() {    if (document.all) return navigator.cookieenabled;    setcookie('testcookie',today.gettime());    var tc = getcookie('testcookie');    delcookie('testcookie');    return (tc == today.gettime()); }  /* cookie functions bill dortsch */ function setcookie (name,value,expires,path,thedomain,secure) {     value = escape(value);    var thecookie = name + "=" + value +     ((expires)    ? "; expires=" + expires.togmtstring() : "") +     ((path)       ? "; path="    + path   : "") +     ((thedomain)  ? "; domain="  + thedomain : "") +     ((secure)     ? "; secure"            : "");     document.cookie = thecookie; }   function getcookie(name) {     var search = name + "="     if (document.cookie.length > 0) { // if there cookies        offset = document.cookie.indexof(search)        if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists           offset += search.length           // set index of beginning of value           end = document.cookie.indexof(";", offset)           // set index of end of cookie value           if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length           return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))        }     }  }  function delcookie(name,path,domain) {    if (getcookie(name)) document.cookie = name + "=" +       ((path)   ? ";path="   + path   : "") +       ((domain) ? ";domain=" + domain : "") +       ";expires=thu, 01-jan-70 00:00:01 gmt"; //   alert(name+' marked deletion'); }
