Missing Cookies

[ganchrow]

OK, so this kind of weird. Using FF CookieSafe, extension, I can view
several cookies. BUt when I use the following JavaScript:

<script>
function getAllCookies() {
var ca = unescape(document.cookie).split(";");
var retVal = '';
for( var i=0; i < ca.length; i++) {
retVal = retVal + ca + "<BR>";
}
return retVal;
}
</script>

<input type=button
onclick='document.getElementById("divFoo").innerHTML =
getAllCookies();' value='Show Cookies'>
<hr><div id=divFoo></div><hr>

.... several cookies just aren't there. I know it's not a domain or a
path issue as the missing cookies have the same domain and path as the
visible cookies.

Any idea what might be possible be wrong and/or at what I should be
looking?

If it means anything, I can read the cookies from PHP, but can't read
(or delete) them from JavaScript.

Does anyone have any ideas at all?

Here was the problem: the cookie was set by PHP with HTTPONLY set to
true.

Setting it with HTTPONLY set to false eliminates the problem.
