You can set the domain of the cookie. Try this cookie API. Can't remember
where I got it from...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
// name - name of the cookie
// value - value of the cookie
// [expires] - expiration date of the cookie (defaults to end of current
session)
// [path] - path for which the cookie is valid (defaults to path of calling
document)
// [domain] - domain for which the cookie is valid (defaults to domain of
calling document)
// [secure] - Boolean value indicating if the cookie transmission requires a
secure transmission
// * an argument defaults when it is assigned null as a placeholder
// * a null placeholder is not required for trailing omitted arguments
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
document.cookie = curCookie;
}
// name - name of the desired cookie
// * return string containing value of specified cookie or null if cookie
does not exist
function getCookie(name) {
var dc = document.cookie;
var prefix = name + "=";
var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
if (begin == -1) {
begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
if (begin != 0) return null;
} else
begin += 2;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1)
end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
}
// name - name of the cookie
// [path] - path of the cookie (must be same as path used to create cookie)
// [domain] - domain of the cookie (must be same as domain used to create
cookie)
// * path and domain default if assigned null or omitted if no explicit
argument proceeds
function deleteCookie(name, path, domain) {
if (getCookie(name)) {
document.cookie = name + "=" +
((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
"; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT";
}
}
// date - any instance of the Date object
// * hand all instances of the Date object to this function for "repairs"
function fixDate(date) {
var base = new Date(0);
var skew = base.getTime();
if (skew > 0)
date.setTime(date.getTime() - skew);
}

Found some very helpful code here:
http://www.echoecho.com/jscookies02.htm
so that problem is basically solved now.
But just realized I have a follow-up Question:
By experiment, it seems if I have two different
html-docs in the same local directory, say c:\dir
they will share the same cookie-string.
But if I have two html-docs in different local directories,
say c:\dir1 and c:\dir2 , they will have different cookie-strings
stored independently.
So the Question now is:
Is there any way to define a "global" cookie that will
be shared by all documents stored on the local drive,
regardless of the different directory-paths?
And where can I find some documentation that describes
such implementational details?
Thanks,
