	Script Name: Javascript Cookie Script
	Author: Public Domain, with some modifications
	Script Source URI: http://techpatterns.com/downloads/javascript_cookies.php
	Version 1.1.2
	Last Update: 5 November 2009

	Changes:
	1.1.2 explicitly declares i in Get_Cookie with var
	1.1.1 fixes a problem with Get_Cookie that did not correctly handle case
	where cookie is initialized but it has no "=" and thus no value, the 
	Get_Cookie function generates a NULL exception. This was pointed out by olivier, thanks
	1.1.0 fixes a problem with Get_Cookie that did not correctly handle
	cases where multiple cookies might test as the same, like: site1, site
