hey :)
I need a cookie implementation...source...and help.How to get users to see intro page just first time they go to site...and every other...they would go to the main page :) using cookies

ThNx! a lot :)
 
I can give you an easy-to-use object-oriented cookie package. It's called TDCookieJar and it's free. Go to and click on TDCookieJar.

All you need to do is check to see if a cookie (call it BeenHere) exists. If not, create the cookie and display the intro page. If it does exist, display the other page. Tracy Dryden

That would be acceptable. But what platform / coding type are you using for your site? If you're using .asp you can use the server side code to add a cookie to a users browser, and check for it. If it's there you can have the server send the user to the correct page without haveing to make another trip back and forth. If you're using .asp, I can show you how to do it. What are you using? -Ovatvvon :-Q
 
no :( my server does not support asp,cgi neither...I'm doin this in pure html
 
what server are you running on? Unix, Linux?? -Ovatvvon :-Q
 
Can't read that language. I'd write the owner or tech department and find out. I have never used apache personally, but I believe it supports ASP files. -Ovatvvon :-Q
 
I think for the simple task you need to do cookies are the easiest and simplest solution. It's part of what they were designed for in the first place. Tracy Dryden

tsdragon....we've been talking about cookies the whole time. We've been talking about simpler solutions than the client side! :)
