Ok, I checked many sites looking for this open source code but I came up with nothing. I was hoping maybe someone else can have some better luck or maybe know the code themselves... Here is an example of the code I am looking for...

A users goes to the homepage http://www.loserlabeled.com (http://www.loserlabeled.com/index.html), if they have already viewed the intro and the page itself it redirects them to http://www.loserlabeled.com/index.shtml, if it hasnt they remain on the homepage viewing the intro (htt://www.loserlabeled.com/index.html)

get adn set cookie functions are pretty self explanitory, and they are appeneded at the bottom. The 3rd variable of set cookie is the time in seconds that the cookie should last

What you do is

on the main index first get the cookie

var before = getCookie("beenhere");

if (before != null){
window.location.href = "url to redirect to"
}
else {
setcookie("beenhere","yes",100000);
}



<!-- Hide from non-jscript browsers
function getCookieVal (offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}

function GetCookie (name) {
var arg = name + "=";
var alen = arg.length;
var clen = document.cookie.length;
var i = 0;
while (i < clen) {
var j = i + alen;
if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg)
return getCookieVal (j);
i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1;
if (i == 0) break;
}
return null;
}

function SetCookie (name, value) {
var argv = SetCookie.arguments;
var argc = SetCookie.arguments.length;
var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" + expires.toGMTString())) +
((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}

where would I add this? in the body or under the head?

inbetween <script> tags, reallly doens't matter, although i guess the header would be more appropriate. yo know head and body don't really count for anythign right?

It works up to the part when I refreshed to test if it would redirect me and it didnt... showed a blank page, this is what I added under the <head> tag.

<script>
var before = getCookie("beenhere");

if (before != null){
window.location.href = "http://www.loserlabeled.com/index.shtml"
}
else {
setcookie("beenhere","yes",100000);
}

first your punctuation is wrong it's GetCookie not getCookie, adn SetCookie, not setCookie, second, function definitinos have to go BEFORE their calls. Finally i kind of messed up on describing what the third parameter is, it's seconds after a specific date, so you had to get that and add more seconds.
anyways, just cut past this code, should be fine


<script>

}
else {
var expdate = new Date()
expdate.setTime (expdate.getTime() + 60*(24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)) // dead in 2 months

SetCookie("beenhere","yes",expdate);

}

</script>
