javascript + cookies

[Magnus]

I have a iframe inside a main html file. The iframe is used to display
various html files. Inside the html files displayed in the iframe I want to
have javascript to set certain global cookies, which I can later access in
the main html file. Is this possible? It seems like when the cookies are set
inside the iframe, the cookies are not accessible in the main html file. I
have also tried using:

document.cookie = "path=/;var=val"

Also with no luck.

Anyone have a cure for this?

One possible cure:
If, once you are done with the iframe, you go back to the main html, global
array or variables could be used instead to hold your data. If you quit the
browser then you can save in cookies at then main html level, this data can
be retrieve at the next invocation of your main html.

(even though I too would like to know how to access cookies globaly)

Re: javascript + cookies

You may need to set the DOMAIN attribute of the cookie.

Simple solution that works for me is to use parent.document .cookie.
