QUOTE ziggy searchfield: You would not believe how confused I was until I finally figured that naming problem out.nice one newt, did you know cookies are called buscuits in england ? Now if I can only fathom what you folks call a proper biscuit. The link does offer a good set of tests though, doesn't it. I was all green except for the 1st party cookies and I knew about that already. Ad-aware does a nice job of whacking tracking cookies for me and I run it about twice a week. -------------------- "Democracy dies when the people wanting their government to take care of them outnumber those wanting to take care of themselves." - Author Unknown - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For a selection of lures, reels and other items, visit my eBay shop http://stores.ebay.com/JaNewt-eMart |

Did not realise how vulnerable I was till I ran this. Thanks Newt, have now plugged the security holes listed on the site. Just waiting for the next batch of vulnerabilities to come to light.
The sneeky bu**ers will always find a new way, lets hope we always have someone on hand like Newt to advise us. Only problem now is, I have to click twice to allow scripts on this site and that's everytime I click on a topic. [ 29. August 2004, 10:38 AM: Message edited by: MickJ ] -------------------- |
