laszlo and cookies

[whisperstorm]

If I have a laszlo app on a different domain from the page it's embedded in, can it still access cookie information?

I think it should work. I did a quick test (I posted the LZX file on mylaszlo.com, and referenced it from the attached HTML file.

Do you want to give it a bash too?

Ok, I see this works, but what I mean is that I want to get the cookie from the page, and do something with it inside the app. For instance say I wanted to get a data path based on the value of the cookie. Is there a way to pass the cookie value "in" to the laszlo widget?

I see I could pass it in as a param to the obj call. Perhaps thats good enough for my needs.

Yes - you could write it out using browser JavaScript or even a server side scripting language.

Have a look here:

You might even be able to hit another script on your server that returns some cookie value from the request that the client made.
