Question
Modify JS cookie script to close CSS layer
I'm using a standard JS popup-once cookie script, from www.yaldex.com. However, it is designed to popup a new window one time only. Instead, I am popping up a CSS layer. I need to modify the script to trigger the "hide" function if the visitor has been to the site before. I am not a JS programmer, I am sort of cobbling together some different things, and trying to make them work.
Here's the relevant sections of code:
- - - Checks Cookie and runs WindowOpen if haven't been there before - - -
function checkCount() {
var count = GetCookie('count');
if (count == null) {
count=1;
SetCookie('count', count, exp);
window.open(page, "", windowprops);
}
else {
count++;
SetCookie('count', count, exp);
}
}
- - - current code to close CSS layer by clicking on Image - - -
<td style="cursor:hand"><a href="#" onClick="hidebox();return false"><img src="close.gif" width="16px" height="14px" border=0></a></td>
- - - code of hidebox() function - - -
function hidebox(){
crossobj=ns6? document.getElementById("s
if (ie4||ns6)
crossobj.style.visibility=
else if (ns4)
document.showimage.visibil
}
- - - - - -
Seems like if I could replace the "window.open(page, "", windowprops);" with something that triggers the hidebox() function, I would be set.
Thanks!

Did you load into a page and view in a browser? You'll see that there's a form that pops up. If you click to submit the form (calling hidebox()), or click in the top right corner of the form (also calling hidebox()), the form goes away. I want it to go away if they have been to the site before as well.
In other words, it's not hidden until hidebox() is called...
I got the alert the first time and not the other times. So I guess it's working.
Oh, I see, you inversed your rules... This is how checkcount should be:
function checkCount() {
var count = GetCookie('count');
if (count == null) {
count=1;
SetCookie('count', count, exp);
} else {
count++;
SetCookie('count', count, exp);
hidebox();
}
}

replace this:
window.open(page, "", windowprops);
with this:
hidebox();
