    Iframes and Cookie validation

    Apologies if this is not the proper forum section.
    I've embedded a third party Storefront (my account) with Iframes.....and it works fine except that when I go to checkout ...my browser requires I lower the cookie security from medium to low...which is not an acceptable request for visitors.
    When I go directly to the storefront page (no embedded iframe) it works fine. I am assuming my page that is doing the iframe does not have a necessary validation (I'm only skilled enough in coding to be dangerous, so I'm not sure).

    Is there a work around for this?

    Here's the pages if anyone wanted to look at the specifics.
    The embedded store: http://www.glidegear.c om/shopglidegear.h tml
    The plain storefront, no embedding with iframe store.glidegear .com

    Thanks,
    Steven

    i tested that with google chrome and firefox and it worked ... does the issue occur with a specific browser or version of a browser?

    kind regards

      It works now .....only because we got Volusion storefront to let me host the problem pages on their server (with ftp permissions). This allowed those pages to have the proper domain, and validated the cookie.

      The problem seems to be with Iframe, that the cookie uses the hosting address of the page to validate/activate the cookie....so that Volusion storefront cookie was only "seeing" my hosting page address, which was no good.
      I did find some codes online that claimed to fix it, but didn't try them.....these would be used in an Include file I believe...and the information about these code's implementation was unclear.

      Any step by step info on how to get cookies accepted within the Iframe's "legal cookie" embedded page, instead of the "illegal cookie" container page that holds the Iframe will still be greatly appreciated! As I am bound to confront this again soon.
