Help with Chrome please

Extensive Googling has not produced a whisper.

On my website is a calendar on which villagers can post 'events'. It runs as a normal http in an iframe on an shtml page. Access is then restricted to issued usernames and passwords. Works fine in IE, Opera and FF. Chrome does not produce the log-in boxes but just says 'Authorisation required'.

I thought at first "huh - dumb user" until I ran it in Chrome - same. I assume there is some setting that needs to be changed. My Chrome is a default install on XP SP3.

looks like a bug in Chrome

Issue 113401 - chromium - iFrames can no longer read their own cookies when "Block third-party cookies and site data" is enabled - An open-source browser project to help move the web forward. - Google Project Hosting


maybe some clues in here

Thanks Milo- prompt and helpful as ever!

Looks like no fix yet.

a couple of comments in that second link about third party incompatibilities though - could be worth checking
also check if the proble is Chrome-version specific

It would be nice if Google would respond, or is it too much too ask! This appears to go 'well back'. I will update to the latest.

Now running 19.xxx and still the same. They haven't got it right, have they?

Might be worth trying SRWareIron (Chrome without the addons) to see whether it suffers the same problem.

Thanks for that, Vulcan, but it does
