IIRC in the default settings IE accepts everything, cookies, ActiveX,
Java, Javascript, worms, viruses ...

i think the default for most browsers is to accept cookies and allow them to
be read back again from the current domain.

Note- there's some other things that are happening.

First, the site the images are hosted on is giving a bandwidth exceeded
notice. So none of those images are showing up.
Ripway Web Hosting

Download Blocked - User Transfer Limit Exceeded

This account has exceeded its maximum 24 hour transfer limit. Please try
back later.

Second- because of the show/hide behavior to have a "please wait- loading"
message show- people with javascript off will Never see anything but the
"loading" message, because that layer is never hidden onLoad for them to
reveal the content.

Yes, it's working fine if the viewer's browser has JavaScript enabled.

I can only speak for myself:

I only accept cookies if they are absolutely necessary (some shops for
example, the better shops also work without cookies). But if a site
prompts me with a cookie dialog the first time I visit it, I usually
press "deny" and disallow all cookies from that site. Especially cookies
from banner sites are a real plague, often used for user tracking.

Additionally there could arise a security problem with cookies,
Javascript and broken sites, vulnerable to cross-site-scripting (XSS).

So in general I like to have as less cookies as possible on my disk.
