Cookie and Window.Open?

[marc]

Can you somehow make a new cookie in javascript code and then use that
cookie in a new http session using Window.Open? It does not seem to be
one of the parameters.

I could open the window as part of an URL with '&' like parameters as
an alternative I think, but I want to propogate login information from
one website to another 'sister' website.

So how can I open a new session and set the authorization cookie in
javascript? Is that at all possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

When you set a cookie it is readable from any page within your site,
even if you do window.open. However the cookie will not be readable
from a different domain(website).

e.g. you set a cookie for www.mysite1.com you will *not* be able to see
this cookie on any page that runs on www.mysite2.com. So if you are
opening a window to mysite2.com from mysite1.com the cookie will not be
received. The only thing i could suggest is to set the cookie for
mysite1.com and then use the parameter in the url as you said, then on
the mysite2.com page reset the cookie for mysite2.com.
