Little Cookie Problem...

[rsitogp]

Hello,

I've started playing around a bit with javascript and wanted to try and get the cookie that vB (vBulletin) stored of my username from this forum but I can't seem to get it with getcookie, can someone help me?

Thanks in advance!

There are two types of cookies:
session only (which are deleted when u exit ur browser, and can be accesed form every site) and normal cookies which can live for a long time and can be read only from one domain.Thats for security reasons, so the answer is:no, u cant read cookies from another site.

So I can only check cookies that I set?

Yup you can only check th ecookies you have set using getcookie.
However u can read the them like text files if you want to.

But don't they go *comp-username*@*domain*? so it would be quite annoying?

AFAIK, Session cookies (with are really the same as any other cookie, except no expiration date was set) are still limited to the setting domain.
