I have a webpage called popup.htm Is there a way to add this popup window that will popup when someone first enters the forum for special notices? Needs to set a cookie not to popup again until the person leaves the forum and returns.

I know how to do it on a htm style web page and works great. Not sure about doing it on an ASP.

Thanks, where do I put it? The page name I want to show is popup.htm Can you show me how to include this in the code above?

This is the script I use on an htm style page.

<script>

//Popup Window Script
//By JavaScript Kit (http://javascriptkit.com)
//JavaScript tutorials and over 400+ free scripts

function openpopup(){
var popurl="http://www.atvoffroad.net/popup.htm"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=400,height=250,")
}

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
offset += search.length
// set index of beginning of value
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1)
end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

function loadornot(){
if (get_cookie('poppedup')==''){
openpopup()
document.cookie="poppedup=yes"
}
}

loadornot()
</script>

Thanks,
Jeff

your code already has a cookie routine in it (in javascript) which should work just fine. You will not need any further modifications.

Thanks for the replies, but what file do I place this in and where would it go?
