Can javascript time stamp a page to lock out for 24 hours?

[joestmc]

Can Javascript time-stamp a page so that if a user visits the page then exits, they would have to wait 24 hours before visiting the page a 2nd time?

Ideally, the could recieve some sort of error message if they did attempt to visit the page a second time w/in a 24 hour lockout period.

You can, but what if they disable javascript? Where do you plan to store the time stamp? I don't think this is a very good idea, I could see something set up where a timestamp could be kept in a cookie and that info could be used to redirect the user to a different page, but it's not something I would try.

Maybe this makes a difference?

The code/page will exist in an online course hosted on my company's intranet.

Do this server-side. Doing it client-side will render any security almost useless.
