Dragtable not remembering column ordering in IE8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open page with table which uses dragtable 
2. Move column 1 to column 3 position
3. Click back button
4. Re-Open the page with table which uses dragtable

What is the expected output? 

I would expect the column I moved to column 3 to still be in column 3.

What do you see instead?

The column that I moved to position 3 is back in its original position in the 
first column.

What version of the product are you using? 
dragtable v1.0 June 26 2008

In what browser?
IE 8.

If this is a bug, please include the URL for a page that demonstrates the
bug.

Page is behind firewall

Please provide any additional information below.

It looks like the dragtable cookie is not being set/read correctly in IE8, 
My application uses other cookies on this web page and the web page is served 
via https. Any ideas?

The same page works as expected in Firefox and Opera. I am only seeing this 
problem in IE8.

I had the same problem on IE9.
My fix, tested on IE9, CHROME21 and FF15 was
REPLACE: document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path="+path;
BY: document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
