Hi,

I am a rookie at javascript and I was wondering if any java programmers can tell me how I would call a script once, and then the script wont be called again if the visitor visits the same page in 24 hours using javascript and cookies, I know this is possible but all i have found is giant javascripts, and ones that you have to put into your <head> tags etc.

This is the script i would call as an example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/test/ad_test.cgi"></script>

Now i have found avery good java code that will call a script once every 24 hours:

<!-- Begin Ad Display Once Pop Up Code -->
<script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript>
<!--
if(get_cookie('popup')==''){var popUpWindow=window.open("http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/ads/advert.cgi?zone_id=4&mode=popup","popup","width=0,height=0");document.cookie="popup=yes";}
function get_cookie(name){var search=name+"=";var returnvalue="";if(document.cookie.length>0){offset=document.cookie.indexOf(search);if(offset!=-1){offset+=search.length;end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",offset);if(end==-1){end=document.cookie.length;returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset,end));}}}return returnvalue;}
//-->
</script>
<!-- End Ad Display Once Pop Up Code -->


but unfortunetly its a popup code....is there any sugesstions out there?? I would really, really appreciate some help as i am a rookie at Javascript.

Thanks.

hi,

Thanks for that quikc response Khalid Ali, but i dont think i can use that script...its too hard to configure....surely there must be a simpler javascript code, because i have seen them for popups, but i just cant find one that will just call the code once every 24 hours etc..i have looked everywhere seriously...but with no luck, i have seen all these diaply once javascript popups which are relatively simple...so how come there isnt just a standard one for calling a non popup code??

Is it possible to edit/debug this popup code?:


<!-- Begin Ad Display Once Pop Up Code -->
<script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript>
<!--
if(get_cookie('popup')==''){var popUpWindow=window.open("http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/ads/advert.cgi?zone_id=4&mode=popup","popup","width=0,height=0");document.cookie="popup=yes";}
function get_cookie(name){var search=name+"=";var returnvalue="";if(document.cookie.length>0){offset=document.cookie.indexOf(search);if(offset!=-1){offset+=search.length;end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",offset);if(end==-1){end=document.cookie.length;returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset,end));}}}return returnvalue;}
//-->
</script>
<!-- End Ad Display Once Pop Up Code -->

Thanks so much!! please help me!

do you want to put any conditions?

at all...like person enters name and stuff at the first time...and the second time and after the first time it will not open the popup...????

nah sorry, your confused...and thats my fault! i should have explained it more! here is a summary of what i need it for:

The reason i need this is for an advert script, it works by calling up this <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/test/ad_test.cgi"></script> and the the ad_test.cgi contains an ad code which will obviously be displayed on the page, now what i am after is a javascript code that will call up this script once per 24 hour visit....i know there are ad programs our there but i dont want to use them, and are just experimeting....so is there a script but, that will just run with all bowsers, that will execute the script, but only once per 24 hours visit to the site?? i have seen many popup codes that can do this, but all i need is a javascript xode that will do the same, as in execute the script once per 24 hour visit.

thanks buddy:)

It can be done-but you should use serverside code for this.
If you use JS, your advertising won't work for about 13% of users.

The link I provided you way aboe in this thread does exactly the same.it gives a message for the first time when user comes on line,then there are comments in the code to how to make this message appear in a certain time period.
tthe "Only " thing you had to do was change the time from 1 minute(in the existing code) to 24 hour and instead of prompt put your javascript code the be run....The forum is for helping people in guiding to their solution....Can't believe how they expect that people here "have" to provide a complete "working" solution.

i dont expect people to have to provide the code, i merely ask that if someone has a code to share it with the community and not be so fu**king selfish and keep it to themselves...

i will check out the code again.

thanks.

Putting the pieces together we should get this:

<!-- Begin Ad Display Once Pop Up Code -->
<script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript>
<!--
if(get_cookie('popup')==''){
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/test/ad_test.cgi"></script>');
document.cookie="popup=yes";
}

function get_cookie(name){
var search=name+"=";
var returnvalue="";

if(document.cookie.length>0){
offset=document.cookie.indexOf(search);

if(offset!=-1){
offset+=search.length;
end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",offset);

if(end==-1){
end=document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset,end));
}
}
}
return returnvalue;
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- End Ad Display Once Pop Up Code -->

Simply place this code where you want the ad script to be included.

hope this helps...
