Hello Dave and Dan,

#1 won't work because MSIE 6+ won't allow reading cookies from an iframe on domains that don't match the container page domain. You can read about the alternatives here:

If you just need to store information on a per user basis, the hidden user preference is the way to go.

I hope this helps and I thank you for your interest in the Google Gadget API.

Regards, Ralph
