A question about window.open and cookie

rated 0 times [ 28] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 16679 / 13 Years ago, mon, april 18, 2011, 12:00:00

Say I have two apps, www.test.com and sub.test.com, now in sub.test.com, I create a window to load www.test.com with codes like :

window.open('www.test.com');

So the window just popup and load www.test.com successfully.

Then I set a cookie in sub.test.com, say uname=wong2;domain=.test.com, I've learned that with set to domain=.test.com, all sites with domain test.com(such as www.test.com, aaa.test.com, test.com) can read the cookie.

But when I try to load the cookie from the window that just popup with www.test.com, it can't get it.

Then I found that if I don't use window.open but directly open www.test.com in browser, it works.

So is there some restrictions on window.open and cookie?

just check how you set the cookie:

var domain = 'test.com';

var expires = (function(days){

    date = new Date();

    date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));

    return date.toUTCString();

})(5);

var name = 'myCookie';

var path = '/';

var value = 'foo';    



document.cookie = name + = + encodeURIComponent(value) + ; expires= + expires + ; path=' + path + '; domain= + domain + ;;
