Can I get cookies from other than the current path?

[UncleStoner]

Using Javascript, you can call document.cookie to get a list of all the
cookies that will be sent to the path of the current document. Is
their a way to get all the cookies associated with the current domain
without regard to the path of the current document?

For example, if there is a cookie with path=/foo and a cookie with
path=/bar, and I have javascript in the page /foo/cool.html: Can I
query the cookie with the path of /bar as well as the cookie with the
bath of /foo? By default, document.cookie only returns the cookies
that would be sent with an HTTP request to /foo.

Thanks,
Dave

Correction: you can read the property. It isn't a function.

without regard to the path of the current document?

No. That would be a security violation. Consider service providers and
hosts that assign users subdirectories not (sub-)domains. However, you
can assign a directory when setting the cookie (using the path
parameter) that is common to both documents.
