    frames and cookies

    I have a page, which writes a cookie, creating two frames. I have verified
    via Fireplug that the cookie is being written. In one of the frames, an
    attempt then is made to read the cookie. Therein, I have code to see if the
    cookie is set -- and it keeps telling me it is not set (despite my being
    able to see it there, and it;s contents, and it is correct). Can someone
    please tell me why, in this code, my frame connot read this cookie? Thanks.

    //here is the page that creates the cookie, and establishes the frames
    -------------------------------
    <?php
    $user= $_POST['user'];
    $server= $_POST['server'];
    $port= $_POST['port'];
    $channel= $_POST['channel'];

    $fullname= $_POST['fullname'];
    $sk= $_POST['sk'];

    $password= $_POST['password'];
    $timer = md5(time());
    $info = $user . "+" . $server . "+" . $port. "+" . $channel. "+"
    ..$email. "+" .$fullname. "+" .$sk. "+" .$voice. "+" .$usevoice. "+"
    ..$password;
    SetCookie("vios ", $info, time() + 86400 * 10); //Set Cookie for 10
    days

    Hi R. Vince,

    Cookies are set PER DOMAIN and possible even with a PATH in that domain.
    That means that a cookie set at:
    http://www.example.com cannot be retrieved by:


    By not retrieving I mean:
    1) Is NEVER send to the server
    2) Cannot be queried by Javascript.

    So in effect a cookie from another domain is effectively not there.
    This has been like this since... Netscape2 if memory serves me well.
