Can you suck in one of those unknown values by grabbing one that has a
known position in the string? Then you could just walk your way through the
string based on the wacky delimiters (which I think was your objective
anyway).

Subject: [Javascript] Burnt cookies
Phew. I wouldn't have thought cookies could be so haaaaaard! Please help me
as i am struggling.
I would like to read the 20th item in a cookie when a user hits the page
which generates that cookie.
The items appear to be separated with ''ESC' characters (they appear as
black squares in Notepad) but I am not to sure.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the help so far. I've just realised that, because my page is
split into 3 frames, i'm not sure which of these frames will have access to
the URL - if any?

Sure
var x = location.search;
var y =new Array();
y = x.split('&');
Now the array y contains the name/value pairs of the query string. To find
the user name, do
for (i=0;i<y.length;i++)
{
if (y[i].indexOf('user') == 0)
{
var z = new Array();
z = y[i].split('=');
username = z[1];
}
}
and the username is in variable 'username'.
