Instead of trying to dodge the different-domain security settings,
which will probably not work consistently across browsers, or even
survive a patch, I would do something simpler:
Let the page that sets the cookie also load a page from the other
domain. Pass the number in the search string to that page.
You will then end up with different cookies for the different domains,
so you must keep them synchronized.
Example code:
On page in first domain:
---
function setCookieOtherDomain(cookie,returnUrl) {
location.href = "http://www.otherdomain.com/"+
"setCookieFromFirstDomain.html"+
"?cookie="+escape(cookie)"+
"&return="+escape(returnUrl);
}
---
On setCookie page in other domain:
---
<script type='text/javascript'>
function parseInput(input) { // works for search or cookies
var data = {};
if (input == "") {return data;}
var inputs = input.split("&");
for (var i in inputs) {
var parts = inputs[i].split("=");
data[unescape(parts[0])]=unescape(parts[1]);
}
return data;
}
var input = parseInput(location.search.substr(1));
setCookieFunction("cookie",input["cookie"]); // some function you define
location.href = input["return"];
</script>
---
(untested)
Good luck.
