Cookies from IFRAME in Internet Explorer

[ranjithkumar]

Hello ,

I am trying to set a cookie from a site opened in an IFRAME of another
site. The cookie setting fails for my site which is opened inside the
IFRAME. I understood that the local setting has to be made in the
Internet Explorer, so that the site is "always allowed" to set the
cookie in the browser using the privacy options.

Is there a way I can achieve this without making the user do this
settings. i.e. I want to set this from my site programatically.

This works without any issues in Firefox.

Appreciate your response.

Cheers - Ranjith

Do I understand correctly that you want to make a setting from your site
on the machines that access it? I certainly hope there is no way and
never will be a way to do that. What a great hijacking tool that would
be!

You can't even make the user change the setting. You must *invite* the
user to change the setting, preferably with detailed instructions
available. Anything else would be anti-social if not criminal.
