    iframe p3p issue

    Posted 13 years 8 months ago
    • Hi, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light and/or a solution to an iframe problem.

      I have a page with a couple of modules, then an iframe underneath. People can make donations to a wedding fund via a site in the iframe. The site in the iframe isn't mine, it's run by an external company, obviously on a different server. People are able to make a contribution using Firefox, but not with Internet Explorer 7,8 or 9.......

      I believe this to be caused by Internet Explorer not accepting 3rd party cookies. Details via google go a little bit over my head, but relate to a missing security policy as far as I can make out.

      Is there a way to make IE accept 3rd party cookies, or show the cookies as safe? Any help would be much appreciated :cry: Thanks!

    • I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do about this. If a user has the setting in IE to accept the cookies, you'll have no problem, but you can't force the choice for them.

      Instead, if the 3rd party site uses a simple form for the donation, you could possibly try replicating the form source HTML on your own site, ensuring the <form action=""> points to the correct form output URL/script on the 3rd party site.

      Other than that, the only other thing you could do is ditch the iframe and offer a "donate" link which just opens the 3rd party site in a new tab/window.

    • Thanks Dan. That's exactly what I did as time was ticking by! I ditched the iframe, and went for a straight link in a new tab. Not as attractive, but at least it's functional.
