cookies 101

[shank]

I have a website www.MyWebsite.com that requires cookies to work properly.
No problem. I write and read cookies without issue.

Problem: I'm using alternate domain names via GoDaddy and use masking. With
masking, the cookies no longer work as planned.

Example: Land on the site with www.MySite.com, then click any link to get
to, say, www.MyWebsite.com/page1.asp that depends on a cookie originating
from www.MyWebsite.com and I get an error.

I guess what I'm asking is how do I write a cookie for www.MyWebsite.com
while using domain name www.MySite.com to find the site?

thanks

Cookies exist on the browser,
so what is the classic ASP connection of this Q?

You can't. Could you imagine what would happen if code from one domain
could read and/or modify cookies to be used by another. Joe public visits
www.betyourinterestedinthis.com which then fiddles with cookies belonging
to www.mybankaccount.com. Not a good idea.

Try passing the values as "hidden" form variables

Just a clue - I do it often
