Hello,

When i try to sign the guestbook i don't see the security image. The problem seems to be in IE7. After investigating the settings in IE7 i found that the solution is to set the privacy tab (cookies) to a lower level than normal.
I can't however expect all the visitors of my website to lower this cookie level.
Is there a solution to this problem???

It should work fine with the default IE7 setting medium or medium-high. Post the URL of your GBook and we can test it from here.

Hello Scorpion,

The problem is that the true url of your guestbook is:
http://www.vdoesburg.info/gastenboek/gbook.php.

To display the guestbook at http://www.vdoesburg.nl/gastenboek/gbook.php you redirect it from the original url with a frame and thereby cloak the real url.
This is the problem. Somehow you do not get a security number when using a redirect which cloaks the real url.

A solution is to just redirect the www.vdoesburg.nl to www.vdoesburg.info without using the cloak feature.

Maybe Klemen knows a solution without having to break the cloak feature.

Greetings,
Henrie

Henrie is correct, because of the cloak IE won't accept sessions cookies from GBook.
