thanx 4 the code but is possible 4 the window to pop up only once when the user visit my site 4 the first time and does not pop up again even if the user clicks the refresh button or the user leave my site to other sites and still comes back to my site using the same active browser window?

Easiest way to stop the second occurance of the popup is to output a cookie the first time and check for it each subsequent time. Only works if the browser is set to allow cookies and the user doesn't sign in from another machine though.

// can u pls explain the function of the two lines of code above as while as the function amt below

function amt(){
var count = GetCookie('count')
if(count == null) {
SetCookie('count','1')
return 1
}
else {
var newcount = parseInt(count) + 1;
DeleteCookie('count')
SetCookie('count',newcount,exp)
return count
}
