I want to open new window onMouseOver
but I want the window to open only once.
how can i do that?
here is my code:

<html dir="rtl">
<head>
<script langugae="javascript">
function openWin(){
window.open('http://google','bigOne','width=900,height=600')
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://tvengine.host56.com/new/index.php"
onMouseOver="openWin('')">
click here
<a>
</body>
</html>

Simplest way:

var openp = true;
function openWin(){
  if (openp) {
    window.open('http://google','bigOne','width=900,height=600');
    openp = false;
  }
}

}

This does not work once you reload the page.this should be validated to work even on reloading page. How to do that??
