cross-domain

Hi Guys,

I have a domain A.com which is my website. I want to allow the user to login and then I have embedded an iframe into domain B.com which attempts to grab the cookie from A.com to allow the user to be continued to be signed in.

I can't seem to get this working in IE ? A new session gets set instead and the cookie is never retrieved.

I have set a P3P policy ? Any ideas what I am doing wrong.
