I have got a page with an iframe. The iframe contains the cookie functions. How do I access the cookie functions from the iframe? When I do the following <a href="Common.htm" onClick="javascript:window.frames.["FrameData"].CreateCookie('CookieTrackMain','A.htm',7);">Common</a> I get the error 'Expected identifier'. What is the solution?

I don't know what the problem is but I'd just like to say that I think it's a bad idea to call a cookie in an iframe. IE6 and maybe even earlier versions and of different browsers will block cookies in an iframe as they'll see it as a security threat.

Oh well. Just a suggestion.

This guy is asking a decent question and you have to knock him down a level. Yes it is a security threat, but he doesn't know that. For someone who doesn't know this, where is he suppose to find out? Not here - because some jerk is going to make him look like a dufus. Next time - can you please respond like this:

This is possible because its a security threat. IE6 and maybe even earlier versions and of different browsers will block cookies in an iframe as they'll see it as a security threat.

Thanks,
