it's a security thing.

it's the way cookies were designed to work. domains can only read cookies
that were set by the same domain. the DOMAIN attribute is not intended to
allow you to write cookies for other domains. you use the DOMAIN attribtute
to set cookies for 3rd-level domains and higher; you must use the DOMAIN
attribute if you specify the PATH attribute of CFCOOKIE.

Subject: CFCOOKIE and other domains?


I know this has come up before; poked around the archives a bit; but what
was there didn't help me.

I'm trying to, from a page on one domain, to set a cookie that a page on
ANOTHER domain can read. I've tried all sorts of combos of CFCOOKIE, using
the "DOMAIN='domain.com'", setting "domain" as the name and the domain
itself as the value, and even doing it with straight-up Javascript, but the
page on the second domain that I have set up, reading in "document.cookie"
in JS just isn't finding a thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
