Cookies created on one page not visible on another

[sargek]

I have a reminders calendar which sets persistent cookies to store the reminders. I would like to have the reminder data available on another page in the same intranet site (same domain), but cannot retrieve the cookie information. To test this, I ran:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
</script>

on both pages, and the data I need is only available on the page it is written. Is this because the domain and path document.cookie is reading from are page specific? Thanks in advance...

it sounds like you may have a problem with the method you are using to set the cookie. If you specify a path (other than / ) it will not be available in any other directory in your site.

You may also have a problem if you are not correctly specifying the expiry date.

Show us the code you are using to set the cookie. I'll wager that is where your problem lies.

Cookies are, in fact, domain specific. It is part of security. The Same Origin Policy, I believe it's called.

Although they can also be directory specific, if you set them that way.
