I want to use ajax to create a panel that will drop down at the top of my web page when it loads the first time but then would not show for subsequent loads.<br />
<br />
I want to put up a welcome message for previous users to tell them how to get to old things they may be used to looking for. &nbsp; But then if you reload the page that panel would not appear. So basically only appear once per session.<br />
<br />
I believe it could be done using ajax and the onload command and I could spent some time figuring out how to do it but if someone can give me a few quick insights of where to start my self training or can provide a sample of someplace that does this with jQuery that would be great.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags.
