in Editor 
      editor.on('initEdit', function getCookie(name) {

            var re = new RegExp(name + "=([^;]+)");
            var value = re.exec(document.cookie);
            return (value != null) ? unescape(value[1]) : null;

    var uname = getCookie("myCookie").replace("UserName=", "")


    editor.field('User').def(uname);

    By the time the initEdit event occurs the default value has already been read and inserted as the value for the field. If you want to be able to set a value based on the cookie in initEdit, use field().val().

    Sorry, but I really can't. Information is confidential. I will see if there is something else I can do tomorrow as an alternative means of sharing.
