    DTML pop up help? Sessions cookies - I'm frustrated!

    Sorry, my last thread wasn't named properly enough to target the right help

    I have a site and I want to display a div layer on it, but only ONCE per session..
    as to not annoy surfers.

    So basically they come on to the site, see the DIV pop up, click it or click close, and if they click close it sets a cookie, so it's not shown again

    I'm pulling my fucking hair out here.

    I tried modifying the code I found here, http://cssbeauty.com/skillshare/disc...using-cookies/

    but the layer pops up, then disappears..

    Any help in the right direction would be appreciated

                      why not just start the session when you load the div, not when they click close..just an idea.

                      didnt look at the code, but maybe the onclose isnt working right or something.

                          Thanks for the suggestions Alky..

                          Sadly my knowledge of code ends at HTML, so I'm havin a hard time doing anything with that script, was hoping there was a simple solution but doesn't seem to be

                              PHP Code:
                              session_start();
if(!$_SESSIONS["ldhtml"]) {
$_SESSIONS["ldhtml"]="1";
//LOAD DHTML
}
                              something like that should work

                                  hmm, perhaps it's time I take a PHP course..

                                  Currently I'm using this

                                  PHP Code:
                                  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
  <!--
   function getCookie(name){
    if(document.cookie!=""){
      var cookie=document.cookie;
      var start=cookie.indexOf(name);
      var stop;

      if(start!=-1){
        start+=name.length+1;
        stop=cookie.indexOf(';', start);

        if(stop==-1)
          stop=cookie.length;
        return unescape(cookie.substring(start, stop));
      }
    }
    else
      return false;
  }

  function makeCookie(name, value){
    var cookie = name + '=' + escape(value) + ';';
    document.cookie = cookie;
  }

  function showhide(id, setcookie){
    if(setcookie==true){
      var cookie=getCookie('show');
      var show=new Array();
      if(cookie) {show=cookie.split(', ');}
      var invar=-1;

    for(i=0; i < show.length; i++)
      if(show[i]==id)
        invar=i;
    }

    if(document.getElementById(id).style.display=="none"){
      document.getElementById(id).style.display="block";

      if(invar==-1 && setcookie==true)
        show[show.length]=id;
    }
    else{
      document.getElementById(id).style.display="none";

      if(invar!=-1 && setcookie==true)
        show.splice(invar, 1);
    }

    if(setcookie==true)
      makeCookie('hide', show.join(', '));
  }

  function init(){
    showhide('container', false)

    var cookievalue=getCookie('show');
    var show;

    if(cookievalue!=""){
      show=cookievalue.split(', ');

      for(i=0; i < show.length; i++)
        document.getElementById(show[i]).style.display="block";
    }
  }
  -->
  </script>
                                  and then

                                  PHP Code:
                                        <a href="javascript:showhide('container', false)">Close This Window!</a>

                                  It closes alright, but if I refresh the page it shows again

                                      where are you calling init from?

                                          from the body tag
                                          onload=init()

                                              it's working .. but flashes real quick, which obviously is unsuitable
