Checking cookie status not working in ie6

[c_shelswell]

Hi I'm having a bit of a problem checking cookies in ie6. The below works fine in Firefox and if cookies are enabled works fine in ie6 but if i disable cookies ie6 doesn't display the message to say so. I've tried a number of different scripts to sort this but so far it's all the same story. Any ideas would be great.

 

var cookieEnabled=(navigator.cookieEnabled)? true : false

	if (typeof navigator.cookieEnabled=="undefined" && !cookieEnabled){
	document.cookie="testcookie"
	cookieEnabled=(document.cookie.indexOf("testcookie")!=-1)? true : false
	}

	if (cookieEnabled)
	{
	 	document.write('ENABLED - Good to go!');
	}
	else
	{
	 	document.write('<span class="errorMsg"><a href="./login/cookie-help.html" target="_blank" >DISABLED CLICK HERE</a></span>');
	}

 

Cheers

Hi i'm still having real troubles with this. Tried the suggestions but still ie6 won't display anything if cookies are turned off.
