There is an typo in there. A semi colon in the code that shouldn’t be there. It’s right after this:

.. and right before this:

+ style + “.css” type=”text/css” />”);

It was driving me mad when I was trying to use the code, it never worked. FINALLY my boyfriend pointed out the semicolon there, and then I took it out and it worked beautifully.

Unfortunately - you can only set a cookie for the domain you’re on - and you can only read the cookie from the domain you’re on - so you’d have to have two cookies - and set them each from the actualy domain itself. I wonder something like this would work: if on “domain a” - you set “cookie a” - and a script sends you to a page on “domain b” - which sets “cookie b” - and then this page sends you back again…

don’t know if that makes sense - but that’s what I would suggest.

i’d really love to implement this, but the copy of mt that runs my blog site (where i’d like to use it) is actually on a different domain (with my blog as a subdomain of that domain). so when the comment pop-up pops up, it’s actually a different domain then what the cookie for my my skins is set for. is there anyway you can get this to grab the cookies for a different domain listed? i know nothing about javascript, so you’ll have to excuse me if this is a stupid question.

Ahh, it never occured to me to use javascript! On pages with a .php extension (like my tag board and index page) I’ve been using /style.css”>, which has the advatage of working even if you have javascript turned off.

However, this method is great for search templates which have a .cgi extension and so don’t use php. I’ve been looking for something like this, thankyou.
