Chrome not setting cookie path to root
The reason this happens is because chrome doesn't allow setting cookies on local files by default. See this answer for more information: https://stackoverflow.com/a/347997/1324019 (text from answer)
Chrome doesn't support cookies for local files (or, like Peter Lyons mentioned, localhost*) unless you start it with the --enable-file-cookies flag. You can read a discussion about it at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=535.
*Chrome does support cookies if you use the local IP address (127.0.0.1) directly. so in the localhost case, that could be an easier workaround.

I am setting a cookie in Javascript using the following code :
setCookie('cart_items','product_name'); function setCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000)); var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); } else var expires = ""; document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/"; }
But the cookie path is not set to root (/) in Chrome. Instead it gets set to the path from where the web page is being executed !!
I tested with IE and FF. It works fine with both these browsers ....
What might be wrong with Chrome or Is it the problem with cookie creation code i am using??
In Chrome ( 16.0.912.63 )
Path: /xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx
in FF ( 6.0 )
Path: /
in IE (9)
Path: /
