Setting Cookies

• Could anyone provide HTML of setting a simple cookie using [FMP-SETCOOKIE]? My understanding setting cookies using CDML is easy, but I'm missing the boat somewhere.

Thanks.

In NN you can set a cookie on page and refer to it on the same page.

In MSIE you can set a cookie on page and refer to it on another page.

MSIE is not reliable with cookies 100%

I've stopped using cookies altogether.

I am using only Tokens.

Thanks for the tips. I am going to apply token usage when I can due to the instability of cookies. But I have a need that necessitates the use of cookies. What is the HTML and CDML for setting a simple cookie for Netscape?
