jeremy,

: Well, I guess that's one way to do it, but I don't wan to have
: to set a cookie, test for it, expire it, then test for another and
: set it if it doesn't exist.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

unfortunately, that's the only way to do it.  you gotta set it, check for
it's existence to see if they accept cookies and if not act accordingly.

when you set the test cookie just don't specify an expires time and that
cookie will disappear when they close their browser.  that's one less cookie
to worry about deleting.

good luck,
