    Here is the scenario:
    1. Clear your IE cash and cookies.
    2. Go to tutorial-index.com
    3. You will see that the site recorded you a tutorial-index cookie.
    4. Clear the cookies and cash again.
    5. Create HTM file and put the following code in it:
    <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' >
    <head><title></title></head>
    <body><iframe src="http://www.tutorial-index.com" height="1000" width="1000"></iframe></body>
    </html>
    6. Run just created file.
    7. Now check your cookie folder. RESULT: no cookie.

    I've been fighting with this iFrame vs. cookie issue for over 2 days. I cannot pinpoint the problem. Anyone can explain to me why it's happening and how I can fix the issue?

    You file main HTML page is on a different domain and the iframe src HTML is from a different domain, by thumb rule a domain cannot access the cookies of another domain. Also, what browser are you using??
