Cookies to another web site

[Dennis Allen]

Hi. Got a client with three web sites. I want to be able to pass
cookies between these sites, so far no luck. Tried:

document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((exp == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + exp.toGMTString())) +
((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
("; domain=.yorktest.com") +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");

....with domain=www.yorktest.com and domain=http://yorktest.com. Still
don't see a cookie file in my adiministrator->cookies folder. I can
create a cookie txt file for the current domain, why not another? Any
help would be greatly appreciated...Dennis

According to the cookie RFC this should work. Have you tried this in
multiple browsers (from different vendors)? It may just be a problem
with the browser you are using, or some cookie-blocking software you
have installed.

Also, if your test cookie is a session cookie... most browsers (to the
best of my knowledge) keep session cookies in memory and never write
them to the cookie jar. You may just need to set an exp date on the
cookie.

Hope this helps.
