Browse All Topics I don't know if this the right place but I searched every topic area and couldn't find anything for IE.
I've created a intranet page for my work containing two frames. A navigation at the top and a contact frame. The problem comes up when I link to a website that uses cookies to login. The intranet uses a ssl connection.
When I go to the url outside the intranet page it all goes fine during login. When I link to the page within the intranet site it gives the error that I have to enable cookies.
If I enable cookies in the privacy tab it all goes fine but I want to know why IE creates a problem when logging in.
Thanx in advance.

This is because of the cross-site scripting spoof that became popular a few years ago. Developers are able to construct web pages in framesets that included content from external sites (which sounds like what you are doing here). It is possible to capture the keystrokes and cookie information that a user enters on the external site using coding techniques within the frameset you've created. Either the provider of the site you are linking to or internet explorer is detecting that the page is in a frameset and is adding a layer of security to help prevent your frameset from capturing the user's activity.

Microsoft does a better job explaining all of the nuances than I will, so I'll just refer you to two of their pages that I keep bookmarked for occassions like this:
