And forgive me for this but my boss is a complete pain.
On visit to this certain site a javascripted slide pop up window comes out with an award image that the website has won in it (links to nothing, just an image). Now they have won another award. So they wanted the image to rotate each time a user comes to the page. So I wrote a cookie to the users system on the first visit,. When they return the cookie is read and switches the images.
I told them before hand we could have easily just done this with a rotating gif, thet way they see both. But not good enough, know it all boss man, who knows nothing about the internet by the way, feels that a rotating gif is not good enough. I think what happend is because he told the client we would be setting cookies and what not, any other solution is un exceptable. Because then he would look like an ass. Anyway.
So I set the cookie, and it works. Then I told him, well if the user has cookies turned off (did that to intentially show him that he had no idea what he was talking about, and there was no need for cookies), blah blah blah.
So he freaks now because he knows it is not full proof. So now he wants this:
"can we make it where each time the index page is clicked on, no matter what user clicks it, or how many times they've been there it switches?"
Guys is there a way to make this happen? Is there any way to tell the index page "hey each time your hit, switch this pop up?
