dojo.cookie across multiple pages?

Question

I'm using dojo.cookie to store and retrieve cookie values. It works great on a single page. However, if I store a cookie on one page and try to retrieve it on another (still within the same website), it returns null. Is there a way to share a cookie across multiple pages within a website? I'm not sure if this is a dojo.cookie issue or a browser/cookie issue.

Hm, I seem to recall issues with cookies and localhost, you might try adding an entry to %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts:

127.0.0.1 my.localhost.com

and then set the cookie as in your first comment but, when you hit the page, use http://my.localhost.com instead of http://localhost.
