function getCookieVal (offset) {
  var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";",offset);
  if (endstr == -1)
  endstr = document.cookie.length;
  return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset,endstr));
}

function GetCookie (name) {
  var arg = name   "=";
  var alen = arg.length;
  var clen = document.cookie.length;
  var i = 0;
  while (i < clen) {
    var j = i   alen;
    if (document.cookie.substring(i,j) == arg)
    return getCookieVal (j);
    i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ",i)   1;
    if (i == 0) break;
  }
  return null;
}

function SetCookie (name,value) {
  var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
  var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
  var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
  var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
  var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
  var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;

   ((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires="   expires.toGMTString())) 
   ((path == null) ? "" : ("; path="   path))

   ((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
