Can javascript read a cookie from a different domain?\
If i set a cookie in one domain say www.domain1.com. Can i read that cookie from a different domain www.domain2.com?
If yes, how?

A:
No.
Browsers specifically only give the current domain the cookies for that domain. This is a security feature.
You can even further specify where on your site this cookie is able to be accessed by adding a path.

A:
No, the document.cookie property only gives you access to the cookies relevant to that page. Being able to read other cookies would be a fairly significant security issue.
