jscript, One-time use Intial entry page to web

One-time use Intial entry page to web

Author	Message
John Loomi #1 / 9	One-time use Intial entry page to web I'm new to jscript and wanted to see if there was a way to use jscript to bring up a "splash page' (product picture) that would appear for 5 seconds (or until the user mouse clicked) only, the first time for someone came to my web site. After the initial display the user would only see the home (index.htm) page. I would appreciate any solution insight/code examples offered... Thanks, John

Sam Collet #2 / 9	One-time use Intial entry page to web Try looking into use of cookies http://tech.irt.org/articles/script11.htm http://www.webreference.com/js/column8/property.html For example: - 3 pages: index.html (checks for cookie); splash.html (splash screen with picture); main.html (your main page) If the cookie exists redirect to the main page (using location.href or location.replace [so when people click the back button on the toolbar it doesn't reload the same page]) If it doesn't redirect to the splash page (same method) and add the following between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags: <META http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=main.html"> Quote: > I'm new to jscript and wanted to see if there was a way to > use jscript to bring up a "splash page' (product picture) > that would appear for 5 seconds (or until the user mouse > clicked) only, the first time for someone came to my web > site.

BTW, "splash screens" for web sites are very annoying and can cause people to ignore your site and never to come back. If you decide to go with it though, you need to make sure the page refreshes even if the user doesn't have JScript enabled, so using the old: <meta name="http-equiv" content="url=page.html;5"> trick should work (although I think I have the syntax wrong...)

That depends on the page's audience. I wouldn't expect a splash page for Google, either. But for something personal, it's great. Johann -- Monotone Scheisshausparolen!

(Such as Opera and IE6 allow) That's why should always put a link to the next page as well. Johann -- Monotone Scheisshausparolen! Ihr wollt nicht sachlich sein, Ihr wollt den DAU! HIER BIN ICH !!!
