Robp,

I wasn’t saying that there’s not a problem with cookies. Or that a lot of people don’t accept cookies. I did word the post wrong, which was not my intention.. However as I stated before, in both Netscape and IE you can disable cookies, without disabling Java. The only browsers I get on my sites without Java are some of the more alternative browsers and UNIX/Linux browsers.

What cookie scare? Sure there are some people who don’t like them and a lot of the security techs tell you to disable them, but I would go as far as calling it a “scare”. You can also disable cookies with disabling Java.

What do you suggest BitSurfr?

With the current cookie scare, some people are disabling JavaScript...

OK - I'll stick with the JavaScript.

Cheers

Java Scripting is almost as solid as Perl these days. It’s not very often that you see anyone with a java-less browser these days. I use Java Script to print or to at least collect (meaning to use in a script of some sort) my visitor’s time/date. Never had a problem with it.

No, afaik the web browser doesn't pass the time to the server. Your best bet is to either use javascript or to ask the user what time zone he/she is in.
