#15069 — Settings cookie cross domain

Hi all,
I have a few questions:

1- in a web page, if I include a javascript hosted on a remote server, 
can it set a cookie in my domain?

i.e.
WWW.MYSITE.COM
<script src="http://www.externalsite.com/my.js">….

Can it set a cookie having domain mysite.com?

2. can a javascript set a cookie in a domain different of the one who 
hosted it?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
W.

The proper TLD for examples is `example', not `com', because a `com' domain 
might be used.  See RFC 2606.

Yes.  Just try it (in many browsers) and you will see.

Yes, if the other domain belongs to the same sub-level domain.

There is also a German-speaking newsgroup on this subject, 
de.comp.lang.javascript, where your questions will be as welcome.  See also
