I've a JavaScript cookies abstraction that might help here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_C ookies/Index.cfm It provides pretty simple "get()" and "set()" methods (and a potentially useful "enabled()" method). For example (after you import the script) you can set a cookie for 90 days like so: DP_Cookies.set("MyCookie", "MyValue", 90); Later you can retrieve the value into a variable with this: var MyCookieValue = DP_Cookies.get("MyCookie"); You don't have to use the script to set/get the cookies - you can read cookies set with CF (or anything else) as long as they fall within the security restrictions of the current page/server. Speaking of that my JavaScript debug library provides a simple "dumpCookies()" method which lets you see all the cookies currently available to JavaScript. That library is here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_D eBug/Index.cfm Both components have full documentation at the link - let me know if you need anything more.
