    <p>I have a page where I grab a value from the query string and add it into a cookie. The value is used for a couple of different items on the page. If the user returns to the page and the value isn't in the query string, the value is pulled back from the cookie.</p> <p>I have tried doing my own cookie setting and retrieval in JavaScript as well as now using the jQuery Cookie plugin (<a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie</a>). Everything works flawlessly...except when I test it in IE6. IE7 and 8 are fine but IE6 always returns a null value for the items when I attempt to retrieve them from the cookie.</p> <p>I looked at the cookie information in Firefox and I'm not seeing anything beyond the 2 integer values that I set.</p> <p>Any ideas on what could be causing this in IE6?</p> <p>UPDATE: I took the test outside of my code into a basic html. Markup below. Same results where it returns null in IE6 (IETester).</p> <pre><code>&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" &gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Page&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.cookie.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { var testId = GetQueryStringValue("test"); if (testId == "") { testId = $.cookie("test"); alert(testId); } else { $.cookie("test", testId); alert("Test set"); } document.write(testId); }); function GetQueryStringValue(name) { var regex = new RegExp("[?&amp;]" + name + "(?:=([^&amp;]*))?","i"); var tmpURL = window.location.href; var results = regex.exec( tmpURL ); if (results == null) { return ""; } else { return results[1]; } } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COIt is working fine in Firefox and I can view the cookie in the Web Developer add on for Firefox. Is there a way to look at the cookie in IE6 other than doing an alert(document.cookie)? Doing that comes up as null in IE6.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
