javascript cookies

[cleary1981]

Hi,

I have set two cookies in my previous page. When I use an alert to show the value of the cookies this is the format I get.

auth=1;project=4

I wan to use javascript to get the value of the project cookie. Does anyone know of a way I can do this?

Ive worked it out using a split function

here it is

var cokie = document.cookie;
// alert(cokie);
var splitCookie = cokie.split("=");
    var proj = splitCookie[2]; // this is the value of proj_id extracted from the cookie
    // alert(proj);

That would assume that the project value is always the second item in the cookie. If you want something more reliable, try the scripts in either this link or this one.
