Hi Steffen,

I tried your suggestion by changing the line above to:

this.defaultDomain = (defaultDomain)?defaultDomain:document.domain;

What happens now is that the host part of the cookie is prefixed with a 
dot, so you get:

name		be_typo_user
host		.test.domain.org
expires:	Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:21:09 GMT

Strange thing is that I checked the value of 'cookies' around line 100 
in cookies.js and there the value for domain is 'test.domain.org' (thus 
correct value)! And right after the cookie is set with:

document.cookie = cookies;

So I would assume this would result in a correctly set cookie...

Any idea why a dot is placed in front when writing the cookies?

grtz,
Albert
