function getCookie(name) {   var cArr = document.cookie.split(';');   for(var i=0;i < cArr.length;i++) {     var cookie = cArr[i].split("=",2);     cookie[0] = cookie[0].replace(/^\s+/,"");     if (cookie[0] == name){ return cookie; }   } }

To get the value of the cookie, split the document.cookie value using the ; character, and then iterate through the resulting array until you find the name you are looking for.
