HTML form/HTML in smart dialog

I think Windows does not like deleting cookie files

This is true...but the usual result is recreating the deleted cookie from mirror copy, not unilaterally choosing to delete a legitimately places and dated cookie.

Without del, if new cookie is [1], then after its creation is deleted cookie [2], and vice versa.

This is reasonable behavior when the same domain is writing a new cookie. But your comment raises a great point. Windows doesn't like patrolling cookies at all. They are there for the site to use/maintain etc. If one expires, that is more meaningful to the site than to windows.
--> after I get back from out of town this weekend, I'm gonna try adding some cookie checking code (if exist etc) to the script on the form, which may indeed be the key.

Still doesn't explain the difference in behavior between yours and my systems. Would very much like someone else to try and see what happens...

Cheers,
