Is it possible for jQuery to read browser cookies i.e. cookies set by facebook? This would be a great help for my application if it was possible.

He actually wants to be able to get cross-domain cookies.

Also, the answer is no. Your JavaScript won't be able to read cookies set by other websites. That's a security measure on browsers.
So at least for reading Facebook's cookies, there's no way to do it. Only to read cookies you've set for your own domain.

Your website at http://www.not_facebook.com will not be able to read cookies set by Facebook, jQuery or no jQuery. The browser won't send them to you, and your Javascript can't see them.
