I don't think that's going to help either... you can get the name and value of the cookies, but not the particulars from document.cookie. If you want to "dump" cookies on the client my debugging library has a method for this, but it just gives name and value (there's an example of the output in the examples): http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_Debug If you want more control over cookies on the client I've also got a cookie abstraction object that (I think) works well: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_Cookies Unfortunately neither lets you actually interogate the meta-definition of cookies. Although if there is a way to do it in JavaScript that I've overlooked I'd be happily suprised! The only way I know to be sure is to reset the cookie and remember the parameters you've used or to encode the parameters into the cookie data itself. Of course you're still limited by the security model and so many of the parameters, if set, will prevent you from seeing the cookie at all. (It should go without saying, but there is no way for a program restrained by the security model to see/access/acknowledge cookies its not permitted to access.)
