Web dialog and cookies on Mac

slbaumgartner · 4 Jan 2013, 02:48

is there a trick to getting document.cookies to work in a Web Dialog on a Mac? I have a plugin that remembers user inputs on a web dialog by setting cookies. It works fine on Windows, but fails on a Mac. Debugging via the WebKit inspector seems to indicate that the cookies are never returned. They have a generous expiration date, so that's not it...

Any insight appreciated!

Thanks
Steve

i really doubt a user's preferences are going to affect this behavior you're experiencing but maybe just in case, fiddle with safari prefs..

I've used dialog.allow_actions_from_host("*") to get things to work in the past.

Would it easier to use the LocalStorage interface instead of cookies ?

That seems dangerous to me.

Dan,

Thanks for the tip! I tried it, and it not only works more portably, it is cleaner code.
