Here is a working example    document cookie    testCookie cookieval  domain       location hostname split      reverse   1           location hostname split      reverse   0       path      This is a generic solution that takes the root domain from the location object and sets the cookie   The reversing is because you don t know how many subdomains you have if any

You want   document cookie   cookieName        cookieValue     domain  example com path   expires     myDate    As per the RFC 2109  to have a cookie available to all subdomains  you must put a   in front of your domain   Setting the path   will have the cookie be available within the entire specified domain aka  example com
