I have an issue where I can't get IE6 to register cookies that I've set, however the code works fine in Opera(Win), Firefox(Win + Mac), Safari and IE7. I am using a standalone version in IE6 which has a known issue with cookies, however there is a fix for it which I have implemented (http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html). Therefore I think the problem may be something else, any ideas? I guess knowing what the browser compatibility for this plugin is would be good, is this documented anywhere?
The code I am using to set the cookie is:
$.cookie('my_cookie', 0, { path: '/' });
and to retrieve:
$.cookie('my_cookie');
Your help would be appreciated and I hope I've posted this query in the correct place.
Cheers

I get the same result with the MultipleIE package.
Running IEs4linux, and Internet Explorer 6, I get the correct behaviour.

I have the same problem and I'm also using the MultipleIE package, however I've not been able to find a solution to this yet.
