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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

For just quickly viewing the cookies on any particular page, I keep a favorites-bar "Cookies" shortcut with the URL set to:

javascript:window.alert(document.cookie.split(';').join(';\r\n'));
