[AP] Cookies not working, but no error msgs.  XML

I would prefer to use cookies rather than IP logging, because in this day and age, many people share one IP address for their entire household - or worse yet, AOL shares a couple of IPs across the entire nation.

But for some reason, I am not producing any cookies, and voting is not being restricted. Again, I'm using SHTML server side includes, text-based poll, I do have the cookie include at the very top of my code - it is executing, because I added an ECHO command to the script to see if the code was being executed - and I am not receiving any errors. Aside from the ECHO command, I didn't alter the cookie script.

I've scoured the forum, but haven't found anyone else with this problem, so I can't figure out what's wrong.

I did try IP logging, and that works fine. I'd just prefer to use cookies, if I can get them to work.

It might help if I include the link to my poll, huh? http://www.starwarschicks.com/redesign/newindex.shtml

Have included poll_cookie.php?

Check the admin panels last nav icon (far right) and it should show
some code for including your poll in a web/php page.

What? Yes, I'm using poll_cookie.php. That's the script to which I added an ECHO command to be sure it was being loaded. And yes, I have the script for including the poll... I certainly wouldn't expect cookies to prevent multiple votes if I didn't have a poll to vote in...

Is your browser accepting cookies?

Check the cookie's length in poll_cookie.php, near the top.
Default is 96 hours.

I've tried it in both Firefox and IE 6. They both normally accept cookies, but aren't in this case.

The cookie timeout is still set to the default 96 hours.
