Max. Cookie Size

[discotraveler]

Hello,

I modifyed the Bookmarks,http://javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/bookmarks.html , script from Javascript source for my website.

Instead of storing a a webaddress, I modifyed it to store a rides name and a desciption. (If it doesn't make sense visit my website, http://www.discotraveler.com, and you will understand :) )

I modifyed it so that a user could create their own personalized "favoirite attraction list." My problem comes in when you add, basically more then 8 or 9 'attractions' to the list, IE ONLY (does not affect Mozilla or Netscape), they will not show up any more.

So my question is, does IE put a cap on the size of a cookie.

To use my modified code, go to these three pages:
http://www.discotraveler.com/parks/florida/disney_world/magic_kingdom/adventureland.htm

http://www.discotraveler.com/parks/florida/disney_world/magic_kingdom/frontierland.htm

http://www.discotraveler.com/parks/florida/disney_world/magic_kingdom/fantasyland.htm
and click the "add attraction to day planner' for each of the attractions on each page.

Or maybe there is something wrong with the source code:

Thank you to whoever can help, and like I said before, this only happens in IE, there is no problem in Mozilla or Netscape.
