Cookie not recognised in IFRAME

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 02.2005

I have set a cookie in an IFRAME using Javascript. This IFRAME, in turn has it’s own child IFRAME, but for some reason the page in this child IFRAME is unable to read the cookie. I set it without expiry, ie:

document.cookie = “cookieName=cookieValue”;

Any thoughts what may be at play and how to go around it?

Thanks in advance…

@VicauthorOct 02.2005 — To clarify further ... both IFRAMES use pages from the same domain (in fact, the same folder on the server)...

@tabzterOct 02.2005 — Have you checked to see whether you have cookies enabled on your browser?

If you do then... It sounds as if the child iframe is not updating its cache.Once you set the cookie with the parent frame, reload the child frame and then try to read the cookie value.

Success!
