Pop-up message

I new to the html thing (3 days). I working on a sharepoint site. Its a intranet site. I add a html web part to the page, then use HTML to develop my page.

I've used an alert code,it's not what I'm looking for. What I'm trying to is have a welcome message with my boss picture pop-up when the main page is accessed for the first time with his welcome spill.

Any ideas? I don't really know where to start of this one....

Like I said, I'm new to this. You link has me a little confused. All I'm trying to do is has a pop-up message or page for the user to see upon opening the a page.

I want the message to contain a picture in the upper left-corner of the message under the banner.

Please see the attached code that was attempted.

Hi,
even if the question is already closed:
1. You should have added SharePoint topic ;-)
2. Proper way of opening dialogs in SharePoint is the usage of the built-in library
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog
like here:

(alternative would be to upload the content in an HTML file to a document library and use the URL option of the modaldialog)

Hi.
If write my welcome message in HTML file and save it in document library and use the URL option that will display and close the message upon click? This option seem simplest.

I've never utilized this feature, how do I get start? Also, the website's example illustrate using a string. My message is two short paragraphs.

Please advise...
