Recently I was working on a project which loads a third party domain webpage in an iframe. Everything looked fine except it started acting weird in Internet Explorer 7.
Later I realised that it was because of the default privacy settings (or rather annoyance) in IE7 which blocks third party cookies in iframes.
There are two ways to solve this.
Internet Options >> Privacy >> Advanced >> Check “Override Automatic Cookie Handling” and “Always allow session cookies”.
This solution is not possible if you are the webdeveloper. You cannot ask all users to change their privacy settings. So how can you over come this programatically? Look at the second solution.
2. If you are the we developer then you can add p3p headers to the pages loaded in iframe. By doing this we are telling the browser that it is OK to create and maintain cookie values of the pages loaded in iframe. Adding the headers is not a tedious task. Use the following code.
PHP :
header('P3P: CP=\"IDC DSP COR CURa ADMa OUR IND PHY ONL COM STA\"');
ASP :
Response.AddHeader "p3p", "CP=" & chr(34) & "CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR" & chr(34)
ASP.net :
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader ("p3p","CP=\"IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT\"");

If you are a social media website developer , sometimes you might search for grabbing contacts from a particular email account if the password is given. I also did the same. In most of the cases it did not work properly. But recently i got a contact grabber from phpclasses.org which works perfectly on Gmail, Hotmail, Rediff, Yahoo, Orkut, MySpace, Indiatimes, Linkedin , AOL and lycos.

Some time back I worte a post about a Twitter Google bot in www.crankup.net. As promised, here is how you can develop your own google talk bot which can post your messages to Twitter.
First, You need an imified account for your bot to work properly. Get one here. Once the account is created, login to your account and give your new bot a name. I call it Post2Twitter.
Now its time to develop the bot. I have used PHP to post message from the chat window to twitter.Below is the code.
<?php error_reporting(0); require('twitterAPI.php'); $message = $_REQUEST['msg']; if(isset($message)) { $extracted = explode("$",$message); $twitter_username = $extracted[0]; $twitter_psw = $extracted[1]; $twitter_message = $extracted[2]; if(strlen($twitter_message)<1){ echo "Sorry! Please enter a message to post!"; exit(0); } else { $twitter_status=postToTwitter($twitter_username, $twitter_psw, $twitter_message); } } ?>
Looks simple? Infact it is not. I have used anoter file which will post the message to twitter. Get the include file here.
Now upload both the files to a webserver and provide the url in your bot setting page (imified.com).Once this is done you can invite your bot to your google talk and start having fun. The above code is self explanatory if you have any queries please post it as a comment.
