How can I list all cookies for the current page with Javascript?

Question

Is there any way to, with help of Javascript, list all cookies associated with the current page? That is, if I don't know the names of the cookies but want to retrieve all the information they contain.

Answer 1

You can list cookies for current domain:

function listCookies() {     var theCookies = document.cookie.split(';');     var aString = '';     for (var i = 1 ; i <= theCookies.length; i++) {         aString += i + ' ' + theCookies[i-1] + "\n";     }     return aString; } 

But you cannot list cookies for other domains for security reasons

Answer 2

var x = document.cookie;  window.alert(x); 

This displays every cookie the current site has access to. If you for example have created two cookies "username=Frankenstein" and "username=Dracula", these two lines of code will display "username=Frankenstein; username=Dracula". However, information such as expiry date will not be shown.
