Pop-Ups

[motokouzi]

Hello there :)
I'm using the following code in order to have 3 URLs appearing (once at a time) when surfing in a page. What I want to do is having each of these pop-ups appearing only ONCE per 2-3 hours..
Please help me, I'm completely lost :((
Many thanks!

<script>
//specify URLs to pop-up
var popwin=new Array()
popwin[0]="popa.htm"
popwin[1]="popb.htm"
popwin[2]="popc.htm"

var winfeatures="width=290,height=290,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,status=0,directories=0"

var once_per_session=0

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
offset += search.length
// set index of beginning of value
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1)
end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

function loadornot(){
if (get_cookie('popwin')==''){
loadpopwin()
document.cookie="popwin=yes"
}
}

function loadpopwin(){
window.open(popwin[Math.floor(Math.random()*(popwin.length))],"",winfeatures)
}

if (once_per_session==0)
loadpopwin()
else
loadornot()

</script>

Add an expiration to your cookie of 3 hours. Look for the cookie if it exists then don't do anything... you can set 3 different cookies so you can look for the 3 urls separately

Thanks tamienne :) You're an angel!
I've added the script but I'm getting an "Unterminated string constant" error..
Any ideas what this might be??

thanks thanks thanks

Ok, I've changed my mind..and I'm now working on this..which doesn't seem to work either :((( I'm sure my CheckCookie function has some problems..

Please help me..and many thanks in advance

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

//specify URLs to randomly select from and pop-up
var popwin=new Array()
popwin[0]="popa.htm"
popwin[1]="popb.htm"
popwin[2]="popc.htm"

//specify popwin window features
var winfeatures="width=290,height=290,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,status=0,directories=0"

CN="PopUp"

function CheckCookie()
{
if (document.cookie && document.cookie.indexOf(CN) != -1)
{
if(get_cookie(CN)==0)
{
window.open(popwin[1],"",winfeatures);
document.cookie=CN+"=1";
}

if(get_cookie(CN)==1;
{
window.open(popwin[2],"",winfeatures);
document.cookie=CN+"=2";
}
}
else
{
window.open(popwin[0],"",winfeatures);
document.cookie=CN+"=0";
}
}

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
offset += search.length
// set index of beginning of value
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1)
end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}
</SCRIPT>

it looks like some of the code needs to be on the same line. For instance...

var winfeatures=" width=290,height=290,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,status=0,directories=0"


should be one line...
