Re: cfcookie and hotmail

[Bryan Stevenson]

I ran into something similar with Hotmail recently.  Some users with IE6 would get our "Cookies Disabled" page when they used a link from within Hotmail (depending on their privacy settings) and others would not have this happen (even with the same settings).

The solution was to have ANYONE hitting ANY PAGE on our site break out of frames using this little script:

  <!--- break out of frames --->
  <script language="_javascript_">
    <!--
    if (parent.frames.length > 0)
    {
    parent.location.href = "">     }
    -->
  </script>

Works like a charm...and Damn you Hotmail...and Ask Jeeves...and anyone else loading our site inside of frames!!

Cheers

  Subject: cfcookie and hotmail

  My company sends out email newsletters containing links to articles on our
  site. When a reader clicks on the link, the requested page writes a cookie.

  All is well except for clients with Hotmail accounts. It seems that Hotmail
  opens up our pages in a frame, and that prevents our cookie.

  Is this a problem with cfcookie, or a generic browser/internet restriction,
  and is there anything I can do about it?

  TIA
  Dave
