jonniejoejonson Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Problem exists in explorer 7 where you have page tabs. eg problem: if you have 2 page tabs open, and you are on the second tab and do something to create a cookie, this cookie can be read and reset from tab2. However if you are tab1 you can read the cookies that have been set in tab2 but CAN NOT delete/reset them. This creates big issues for creating login systems where you set a cookie to remeber the user, becuase if one day you login in from tab2 and check remeber me... if you then return at a later date and try and logout from tab1 you can not becuase the cookie to remeber you was set from tab2. Like i said it still reads the cookie but doesn't reset/delete it. I hope you understand my problem... thanks to any responders.

discomatt Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 If this is indeed the case, there's nothing you can do, as cookies are handled on the client-side.

jonniejoejonson Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 This is a problem... someone else must ahve had this problem... I have tested this problem on other sites that allow 'remember me' login, and they dont have this problem... i assume they use php cookies to remmber a user... so they must be doing something to prevent this... Is it possible to specify where a cookie is set on a users machine?.. Has anyone else noticed this discrepency with setting cookies from different page tabs in IE7? thanks again.
