I have a web page that pulls information from different applications on diffrent servers. One such application sends JavsScript cookies data to the client. Is it possible to grab these values and stuff them in ASP Session Variables or Cookies? I would love to see a working sample.

not sure what you are after, a cookie is a cookie it is a text file saved on the users machine they are language agnostic so you can just read them using ASP the same as you can read them using javascript

This is what I am trying to do:
Code:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.cookie = "mycookie=2; expires=1/1/2020; path=/;";
</script>
<%
Dim myBrownie
'get the cookie
myBrownie = Request.Cookies("mycookie")
Response.Write("You ate " & myBrownie & " brownies")
%>
I do not see the value of the cookie until after I refresh the page.

well you won't because the asp code gets executed on the server before the page is sent to the client and then the javascript runs. so there is no cookie at the time request.Cookies is called

This is the problem which I am trying to resolve. I am thinking about using Ajax to refresh the page and pull the cookie value(s).

maybe if you explain what you are trying to achieve we can offer suggestions, writing a cookie from the client and then trying to read it from the server without a postback just won't work, so what exactly are you trying to accomplish ?
