The OP wanted the splash screen to be shown 3 times only (over multiple sessions). He asked his question in the Javascript forum, and Javascript can very easily do this using a cookie. It is silly to raise the question of Javascript or cookies being disabled. In that case the user just sees the splash screen each time. Note that many people clear out their cookies at frequent intervals, so the cookie that works initially may be deleted hours/days later by the user.
