Session......frames

[Ronald]

Hi!

I have a frameset on domain X in which an ASP-page is loaded from domain Y
into one of the frames. It seems that the ASP-page is not handling any
cooky's. After each load the session-object is empty. When directly opening
the page from domain Y (without the frameset) everything works ok. Does
anyone knows why this is happening en what can be done to make it work?

You mean cookies? Domain X cannot read/access Domain Y's cookies. It's a
security thing.

Use a database or hidden form fields.

I don't want Domain Y to read cooky's from domain X. I just want domein X
read cooky's from domain X when a page from domain X is in a frameset from
domain Y.

You can't work across domains and get any sort of reliability with cookies,
session objects, etc etc etc.

When DomX retrieves the page in the Frames the "session" is between
the DomX and DomY, not with the user. Remember that Y is receiving the
request from X, not from the user.

The user's session is between the user and DomX, not with DomY.

So you have one session between the User and X and another session
between X and Y,....and "never the two shall meet" as far as I know.

I don't know of a workaround with "sessions".
