Javascript cookies not accessible until second attempt

When my login form is submitted, the cookie is created and a simple alert message retrieving the cookie tells me it is OK. The submission calls an agent which processes stuff and then directs to a welcome page. This welcome page accesses the cookie to create a simple message containing the user name on the header. All quite straight forward I thought. However, the first time a user does this, their name does not appear. If they repeat the login process, then the name does appear. A user seems to need to login twice before the cookie is accessible. Any ideas?Thanks,

Chris

Make sure the cookie is setting the same domain otherwise you will have multiple logins.

Eg if you login with full hostname:

www.mysite.com/loginform?openform

as opposed to:

mysite/loginform?oopenform

Alert the cookie values and especially the domain. This can be done in the in tools/internet options/security/internet/custom level. Set alert cookies
