Re: JavaScript to display all cookies

Sorry, I forgot to mention the parsing-out-the-values
part of what I wanted to do :)
I worked it out and ended up with this:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- // BEGIN Hide

getAllCookies();

function getAllCookies() {
    var everycookievalue  = document.cookie; 
    var mySplit = everycookievalue.split(";");
    var patternName    = /^[^=]+/;
    var patternValue   = /[^=]+$/;
    var patternNospace = /[^\s]+/;
    var resultName;
    var resultValue;
    for ( count=0 ; ( mySplit[count] != undefined ) ; count++ ) {
        resultName = mySplit[count].match(patternName);
        resultName = resultName[0].match(patternNospace);
        document.writeln("[" + resultName + "] = ");
        resultValue = mySplit[count].match(patternValue);
        resultValue = resultValue[0].match(patternNospace);
        document.writeln("[" + resultValue + "]<BR><BR>");
    }
}

// END hide -->
</SCRIPT>

I'm sure it is not very bullet-proof (I'm no wizard at RegEx,
or JavaScript for that matter) but it seems to work alright 
for my purposes.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
