IE6 disables third-party cookies by default, which is why your cookies would not be getting set if displayed within a frameset (assuming the domain name of your client site is different from your own).
You can get around this by placing a P3P header in your IIS configuration to tell IIS to allow the cookies. We have to do this on our ZonkBoard web site (www.zonkboard.com, shameless plug) because the nature of the app is to sit in an IFRAME on the user's site. We use cookies within the app to store the end user's name/url so they don't have to type it every time they post. This has the added effect of storing the name/url/session cookies across any site with a ZonkBoard on it. The P3P header makes it all possible. Here is the P3P header we use in IIS to make it happen: P3P: CP="NOI DSP COR OPTa BUS OTC" Google for P3P to find more info and the link to get IBM's P3P policy editor. It's pretty neat stuff. -Justin Scott, Vice President Sceiron Interactive, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com [[: Creativity is not Obsolete :]] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Costas Piliotis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 8:23 PM Subject: Session state / cookies within frame??? > Just noticed that a client of our wants our site within a frame from their > own site. > > Normally, cf sets cookies on the client with the site information.
