Re: Placing Cookies Using OWAS 3.0

Hi,
I not sure if my post is late. but here goes. In html, cookie(s) placed on the page CANNOT be retrieved from the same page that was placed. What I did, was to passed in the variables that I set my cookie on, and, subsequently use the get_cookie to extract the information I need.

Hope this helps in anyway.
Cheers.
