| Hmm I thought that most users would not allow sub.mysite.com to read cookies from mysite.com because that would be classed as a third party cookie... |

I think MSN might use passport. They probably also write the cookies and session info to disk. When you navigate to another subdomain or domain within their realm, part of the http header, and prrhaps part of the url is a key to the disk info. If you google for "asp code server farm" you should be able to find some how-to's. -------------

| I read that now most new browsers disabled this features, since it allows other sites to collect information about you, for example Amazon.com uses Cookies in order to track the items you searched for and your shopping cart as well, if this was possible, any site could know your interest by reading your cookies. |

well i thought you had to state the cookie was going to be read by other sites and i got the impression from how it they was talking about it on jodohosts forums that this bit of code worked for a site and all its subdomains
and i was wondering if anyone had more info on it eg if i had to put "sub.mysite.com" to write it for that site or if i could just put the above and it'd work for all my subdomains wither its "www." or "sub." i guess i can tweek the forum to have a edit profile on both forums but i only wanted to have it on one forum becose of uploading Avatars would course problems between the sites ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

I just get this to work, do this:
1. Create 2 files, coo1.asp and coo2.asp 2. coo1.asp goes into your www.yourdomain.com root 3. coo2.asp goes into your sub.yourdomain.com root Here's the files for you to copy paste:
Now open 2 browser windows; 1. On the first one go to [www.yourdomain.com/coo1.asp] make sure it reports cookie set. 2. On the second one, go to [sub.yourdomain.com/coo2.asp] make sure it returns the value of the cookie. Make sure you change [yourdomain.com] to your actual domain in the code and URLs posted above. This example works only when sharing stuff between sub-domains part of the same domain not between different domains. I have encounter a problem when testing this in IE, maybe because of the high security settings I have here, but when testing on Firefox, it worked nicely, so if this don't work for you, could be because you browser is either blocking cookies or not allowing some kinds of it. ------------- :: http://www.mylittlehost.com/ - www.mylittlehost.com |

It's your browser than, it's working, but your browser settings are blocking it at some point, disable all browser security and set it to allow all cookies, exit browser then re-open it again, or use a different browser, as I said above on my IE I couldn't see the cookie value on the second page, but on firefox it works perfectly. ------------- :: http://www.mylittlehost.com/ - www.mylittlehost.com |

Ok, I just run more tests, it appears that if you use IE, there's no way it will work, I tried everything, allowing all cookies, setting the domain as allowed for cookies, nothing works, but in Firefox it does, so don't know why IE is behaving like this, try Firefox and you'll see it works just fine.
Are you setting the ".yourdomain.com" to your domain? ------------- :: http://www.mylittlehost.com/ - www.mylittlehost.com |

And make sue there's a "dot" in front of yourdomain.com - e.g. .yourdomain.com
