Cookie and Window.Open?

marc

Can you somehow make a new cookie in javascript code and then use that
cookie in a new http session using Window.Open? It does not seem to be
one of the parameters.

I could open the window as part of an URL with '&' like parameters as
an alternative I think, but I want to propogate login information from
one website to another 'sister' website.

So how can I open a new session and set the authorization cookie in
javascript? Is that at all possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

When you set a cookie it is readable from any page within your site,
even if you do window.open. However the cookie will not be readable
from a different domain(website) .

e.g. you set a cookie for www.mysite1.com you will *not* be able to see
this cookie on any page that runs on www.mysite2.com. So if you are
opening a window to mysite2.com from mysite1.com the cookie will not be
received. The only thing i could suggest is to set the cookie for
mysite1.com and then use the parameter in the url as you said, then on
the mysite2.com page reset the cookie for mysite2.com.

cookie not sent with window.open

by: Paul | last post by:

I link to a web site from an Excel spreadsheet. The page i link to is getCookie.asp which sets a cookie then returns back some html which opens a new window, to the same site but a different page (same folder). The cookie is not received. Can someone explain why? I worked around this by adding a cache-control header with a value of no-cache. This fixes the problem. Unfortunately that causes another problem with Internet Explorer...

Can't set session cookie???

by: Brett | last post by:

I'd like to set a session cookie that expires once the browser is closed. I've tried: document.cookie = "wm_javascript=" + escape("SomeName|" + window.document.referrer); with no expires. This doesn't set a cookie. It seems I must put in an expiration for the cookie to set. The code below does work: var the_name = window.document.referrer;

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
