Question

I have a function that saves cookies

    cookievalue= escape(document.passwordCheck.oldPassword.value) + ";";
    document.cookie="oldCookie=" + cookievalue
    cookievalue= escape(document.passwordCheck.oldPassword.value) + ";";
    document.cookie="newCookie=" + cookievalue

How do I retrieve the data for oldCookie and newCookie?

From http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_cookies.asp:

function getCookie(c_name) {
    var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
    for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++) {
        x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
        y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
        x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
        if (x==c_name) {
            return unescape(y);
        }
    }
}
