Again, thanks for the info. But, after reviewing Request.Browser.Cookies
and Request.Browser.JavaScript, these two properties simply return true if
browser client "supports" Cookies and JavaScript, respectively. This is
good to know.

But, what we really need is a way to check and make sure the user has not
disabled Cookies and JavaScript through security settings. Any thoughts?
