[Wtr-general] Managing the Cookie Space with Watir

[Christian Baumann]

Hi Bach Le,

as far as I know Your assumption (evry IE instance uses the same 
directory for temp files (I don´t the exact path in english because I 
use a german windows, but it should be s.th. like "c:\documents and 
settings\...")) is right.
So why don´t You just delete the content of this directory at the 
beginning of every test case?

Regards,
Christian

As far as I know, they all write to the same temporary internet files so cookies are shared between instances. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.
