APEX

Hi,

APEX 4.1.1 / Database 11.2 XE

I'm trying to set a nice error message for users trying to access an apex application if they have cookies disabled on their browser.
I'm using the suggestion for this from http://joelkallman.blogspot.nl/2012_02_01_archive.html (check cookies enabled via javascript in a page load script or via a dynamic action )

This works whenever I set a "random" page to public and create a dynamic action on page load which checks !navigator.cookieEnabled (javascript) to see if cookies are disabled.

But if the page is a login page of an application (also defined as public) this does not seem to work. Still the too many redirects error occurs and the self defined error ( via dynamic action ) is completely ignored.

There seem to be 2 situations :
1. If you access the application without specifying a page it should get redirected to the login page but now you get the too many redirects error
2. If you access the application with explicitly specifying the login page ( via pagenumber or alias ) you just get the login page, but after login in you again get the too many redirects error ( which is expected ).

Any ideas on how too solve this ?

regards
Bas

p.s. Behavior does not seem to be consistent across browsers, firefox reacts different from chrome.....
