Request Cookie problem in classic asp

Hi everybody,

I’ve a problem here.

Seems like i can only request cookie using request.cookie("…") within the <body> tag of my asp page. The result in the cookie request can only be directly execute and use in the body, … Where i again want to use the variable within the body to do some checking on the <script> tag on top, it deny reading it and i couldn’t go further…

I tried requesting and placing the cookie value into the variable before my <body> tag which is in the <script> of my ASP instead but it show problem reading that line, and doesn’t response after that…

So is it true that i can only request/get cookie…

<html>
<script>
<------ but not here??
</script>
<body>
<— from here
</body>
</html>

Anybody knows why is it happening?

Thanks alot=)
