Hi,

this is a SVN patch request.

Type: Bugfix

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12087

Branches: Trunk

Problem:
If you open the Backend login in IE6 the cookie warning shows up. No 
matter if the browser accepts cookies or not.
Be login is still possible. clicking on the word "IGNORE" in the message 
lets it disappear.

the "no cookies" message is displayed because "document.cookie" is 
always empty in IE6.

Solution:
(it's more a workaround)
Use conditional comments to detect IE6. Inside the comment add a 
javascript which does a cookie check with navigator.cookieEnabled.

I tested it with the IE6 from multipleIEs.
is there someone with a real IE6 out there?

greets
rupert
