import javax.servlet.*;

import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class DontKnow extends HttpServlet{

public void service(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException{

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

Cookie[] cookie = request.getCookies();

response.setContentType("text/html");

out.println("<html>");

out.println("<form action=\"seecookies\">");

out.println("<table onClick=\"Clicking();\">");
             
              out.println("<tr id=\"cookierow\">");

if(cookie!=null){

for(int i=0;i<cookie.length;i++){

String s=cookie[i].getValue();

out.println("cookie value:   "+s);
   
                        out.println("<td>+\""+s+"\"+</td>");

}

}else{out.println("in else block");}

out.println("<script>");

out.println("function Clicking(){");

out.println("alert(\"infunction\");");               
              
                out.println("var row=document.getElementById(\"cookierow\");");

out.println("alert(\"infunction2\");");

out.println("var cells =");

out.println("row.getElementsByTagName(\"td\");");

out.println("alert(\"infunction3\");");

out.println("alert(\"infunction4\");");

out.println("alert(cells.innerHtml);");

out.println("alert(\"infunction5\");}");

out.println("</script>");

out.println("</form>");

out.println("</html>");
       }
  }

<html>
<form action="seecookies">
<table onClick="Clicking();">
<tr id="cookierow">
cookie value: mypassword
<td>+"mypassword"+</td>
cookie value: myUsername
<td>+"myUsername"+</td>
<script>
function Clicking(){
alert("infunction");
var row=document.getElementById("cookierow");
alert("infunction2");
var cells =
row.getElementsByTagName("td");
alert("infunction3");
alert("infunction4");
alert(cells.val());
alert("infunction5");}
</script>
</form>
</html>

Maybe next time I will not answer your question.

Remember that we are helping you for free, so you get free advice.

If it was worded more like. "Thank you for pointing out my problem, can you please tell me how to to get the text of an element?"

I would be more inclined to tell you how.
