Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 26.2005

If anyone has the time and inclination, would they please modify this code so that the pop-up it calls only pops up once per user visit? Much obliged!

[B]This is the part of the script that goes in the HEAD —[/B]

<SCRIPT language=”JavaScript”>
function PopupMe(){
setTimeout(‘__PopupMe()’,1000);}
function __PopupMe(){
myleft=(screen.width)?(screen.width+500)/2:1;mytop=(screen.height)?(screen.height-200)/2:50;
settings=’top=’ + mytop + ‘,left=’ + myleft + ‘,width=250,height=150,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,fullscreen=no’
PopupWin=window.open(‘http://ampheek.com/popped.htm’,’PopupWin‘, settings);
PopupWin.focus();
setTimeout(‘PopupWin.close()’,7000);}
</SCRIPT>

[B]This is the part of the script that goes in the BODY[/B]

<BODY onload=”javascript?opupMe()”BGCOLOR=”#ffffff”>

Thanks again folks ?

@Mr_JMay 26.2005 — Here is an example using a session cookie where the popup will be shown on the first visit to the page, it is not shown again until the visitor closes and reopens their browser.

To extend this to a longer period you would have to use a persistant cookie

[code=php]<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Document Title</TITLE>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var cookie_value = 0

function get_cookie(name){
var cookie_name = name + "="

if (document.cookie.length > 0){
start_index = document.cookie.indexOf(cookie_name)

if (start_index != -1) {
start_index += cookie_name.length

end_index = document.cookie.indexOf(";", start_index)

if (end_index == -1){
end_index = document.cookie.length
}

cookie_value=unescape(document.cookie.substring(start_index, end_index))

}

}

if(cookie_value == 0){
document.cookie="pop_once = 1"
PopupMe()
}

}

function PopupMe(){
setTimeout('__PopupMe()',1000)
}

function __PopupMe(){
myleft=(screen.width)?(screen.width+500)/2:1;mytop=(screen.height)?(screen.height-200)/2:50;
settings='top=' + mytop + ',left=' + myleft +',width=250,height=150,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,fullscreen=no'
PopupWin=window.open('http://ampheek.com/popped.htm','PopupWin', settings);
PopupWin.focus();
setTimeout('PopupWin.close()',7000);}

//-->
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="get_cookie('pop_once')">

</BODY>
</HTML>[/code]

Egads!! Shazam!! Sufferin' succotash!! Your code works. I really appreciate your help, and after visiting your website am further astounded. The Hunting Ground is incredible.

@Mr_JMay 27.2005 — I certainly appreciate your re-coding of my one-time pop up gadget. It works beautifully, except the user still gets the pop up twice, not just once. That's no problem though. After that they'll not see it again.[/QUOTE]

I am puzzled as to why it shows twice for you, I copied and pasted from my previous post just to make sure that this forum had not messed the code up in some way.

I only got the popup once when I opened the page for the first time.

Every time I refreshed the page after that the popup remained closed.

Only when I closed and re-opened the browser did the popup open again, which is how a session cookie works.

Hmm .....strange .................

@porquatauthorMay 27.2005 — MrJ --

I suspect the minor glitch in the code resulted from the GUI website editor I use. It's antiquated and known to cause hiccups now and again. I'll copy and paste using plain old Notepad and see what happens.

@denverwholesaleFeb 18.2015 — Mr J, could you do the same for me please?

Here is the code in the head:

</script>

<div id='2016-denver-wholesale-amber'></div>

<script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var hm = document.createElement('script'); hm.type ='text/javascript'; hm.async = true; hm.src = ('++u-heatmap-it+log-js').replace(/[+]/g,'/').replace(/-/g,'.'); var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(hm, s); })(); </script>
