Javascript: How do you set / read cookies with Chrome

The following code works with both IE8 and Firfox 3.5. Any idea why I can't read these values when I use Chrome ? (I have tested using both a localhost server and my remote web server, with both my computer and another in the house.)

<html>

    <head>

      <title>Cookie Test</title><?php

        if((isset($_COOKIE["unique_id"]))&&isset($_COOKIE["users_resolution"])){

        $screen_res = $_COOKIE["users_resolution"];

        $unique_id = $_COOKIE["unique_id"];

        }

        else //means cookie is not found set it using Javascript

        {

        ?>
 
      <script language="javascript">

            <!--

            writeCookie();

            function writeCookie()

                {

                var today = new Date();

                var the_date = new Date("December 31, 2023");

                var the_cookie_date = the_date.toGMTString();

                var the_cookie = "users_resolution="+ screen.width +"x"+ screen.height;

                var the_cookie = "unique_id="+ uniqid();

                var the_cookie = the_cookie + ";expires=" + the_cookie_date;

                document.cookie=the_cookie
 
                // location = 'test.php';

                }

            function uniqid()

              {

              var newDate = new Date;

              return newDate.getTime();

              }

            //-->

        </script>

        <?php } ?>

    </head>

    <body>

        <?php

        echo "Screen resolution: ".$screen_res."<br>";

        echo "Unique ID: ".$unique_id."<br>";

        ?>

    </body>

    </html>
