Interesting.. I fixed the problem.
Although it seemed like a problem with IE setting the cookie is was
actually a problem with IE not executing code after an onload event.
e.g. in this function
function load_img()
{
var foo = 'bar';
image.src = 'http://www.example.com/image.gif';
image.onload = do_load();
foo = ''; // will not execute
}
Thanks,
Mike
