Question

Can I ask what mean document.cookie.length in javascript? the number of cookies in document.cookie object Thanks!
This is the code:

function getCookie(c_name)
{
if (document.cookie.length>0)
  {
  c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
  if (c_start!=-1)
    {
    c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
    c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start);
    if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length;
    return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
    }
  }
return "";
}

Answer 1

document.cookie is simply a string, so .length is the length of that string. JavaScript doesn’t provide any built-in functions to parse the individual cookies, you have to do that yourself.
