Brian Williams,

Sorry this isn't formatted correctly. The textarea box isn't wide 
enough.
------------------------------------------------------------------
function check_cookies()
	{
	if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
	  {
	  netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege
('UniversalPreferencesRead');
	  if (navigator.preference('network.cookie.cookieBehavior') != 
0)
		return "Accept all cookies"
		else if (navigator.preference
('network.cookie.cookieBehavior') != 1)
		return "Accept only cookies that get sent back to the 
originating server"
		else
		return "Disabled"
	  }
	else 
	  { if (navigator.cookieEnabled==true)  return "Enabled"
	    else if (navigator.cookieEnabled==false)  return "Disabled"
		else return "Unknown"
	  }
	}
