Reading cookies from javascript is slightly trickier then it should be as it involves slicing up the long cookie string. It's still fairly trivial but I'd recommend you use an existing library to abstract these details away.

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/cookie if you're using jQuery or http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html#script for vanilla
