Well, I agree with everyone else. According to the way cookies are supposed
to work, they can only be read or set by the domain they were created by.
Let's ask the important questions now. What is it you are trying to
accomplish?
I know you want to read "a cookie" set on another domain, but what
I understand about setting the cookie using an image. That's not what I'm
looking to do.
I want to try and READ the cookie provided from another web site.
Lets say I visit SITE_A (not my site) and a cookie is set.
Now I visit SITE_B (my site). I would like to read the cookie information from
SI
No it's not possible AFAIKHUGE security issue if that was possible. Let's
think it throughthe other site stores the user's password in plain text in
a
cookie for some stupid reasonnow you can read it...I think not ;-)
HTH

Or rather when I visit SITE_A I do have the ability to add some HTML so I would
use something like ... this script i
would like to execute and see if i can read the cookie(s) set by SITE_A
any suggestions?
