View Full Version : clear cookies?


March 7th, 2006, 01:22 PM
After the user has imported from an address book , say Yahoo, at least once, subsequent invocations of the pop-up always seem to take me back to the same address book. There isn't any way I can see to return to the start page to select a different address book, for example, I might want to go back and import from gmail.

Clearing all the .plaxo.com domain cookies seems to revert to a clean state. How can I do this programmatically? Seems like browser security would disallow code coming from my domain to clear cookies from another domain.

Alternatively, put a link so you can return to the start page to choose a different address book.

Normally, the widget should start you on the first page (choose your AB) unless you've signed in as a Plaxo member.

In a coming release, there will be a "signout" link.. And when you've done an import, there should be a back button on the bottom-left to take you home.

Are you getting any JavaScript errors? Can you share how you are calling the widget?

There were some changes to the widget (announced in another message on the forum) for the current release. It shouldn't have impacted your code, but you could try to re-add the widget and make sure the old stuff isn't cached in the browser. Make sure you are referencing the JavaScript files from www.plaxo.com (http://www.plaxo.com) and not keeping your own local copy on your webserver.

Let us know if this helps.

I hacked a bit to actually close the window, not hide it, and the problem seems to have
gone away.

Thanks,
