Re: [mv] cookie again, sorry

["Karl" <friend@forfree.at>]

in the flycat there is no real catalog aso page. so the first possible page
to check it is the basket.i also tried larry´s tip, same result. basicly it
looks like that also if larry´s script is place immediatly after the [body]
<script......
the read cookie works the second time the page is loaded. the result is the
same with the JavaScript cookie and the MV cookie. when reloading the page
check is ok and no error message is displayed.

but the customers should be warned the first time they load the basket page,
because if not they loose the arlready collected parts.
