Cookie Not Available after window.open

Here is the scenario. I need to launch a popup using window.open, but
can't pass everything i need to pass on the querystring. So I thought
I would set a cookie.

Basically I do:

setCookie('Name List', aReallyLongList OfNames);
window.open(aWi ndowThatNeedsTo ReadNameList);

then in the window (on the server side) I try to access the cookie,
but it is not there. What gives? I know that document.cookie has the
NameList before the window.open call.

You could try using POST to send all of your data to the pop-up
window.
<form name="f1" method="post" .....>

popup would need
<%
v1 = Request.Form("v alue1")
etc etc etc
%>
Both the GET and POST methods have length limitations (200+ characters
and 4k respectively). Cookies also have a size limit (4k). If your
data is still exceeding this limit then you will have to rethink what
data you are transmitting between pages.

Because of the way the popup windows communicates its data back to the
parent, i need to use window.open. How would I do that with a post? I
kicked around the idea of doing a post but I couldn't figure out how
to make it work with window.open.

Hi there New to PHP. Im trying to set a cookie but for some reason it wont work. The code is inside a Submit button and happens after I have read the MySQL database and succesfully retrieved the record. For some reason the cookie is not created.
