Problem Using Cookies

[talon48]

I am using RoboHelp HTML 8. When using View Selected Item to view a topic I can use JavaScript to write and read information from a cookie. However, when compiled into a .chm file the same topic will no longer create a cookie (and presumably it also could not read one). Is this an inherent limitation on .chm files or is there a way around this limitation?

Hi talon48 and welcome to the RH forums.

I should start by saying that I have never used Javascript to write/read information from a cookie. However CHMs have been the subject of many a security update over the years. So much so that I suspect that this is not possible. I have managed to unearth this link which suggests that cookies in CHMs are unreliable at best:

Your answer is probably correct, I was just hoping for a definitive answer somewhere. To bad I cannot find a way to save a bit of information about a topic. Thanks for the answer.
