Need some help with 2 things

[Guest_imported]

I would like to know how to do the following:

#1) If you ever go to iwin.com (I believe), before playing any game, they make you click a banner. You cannot avoid it because the banner is also acting as a link to the game.

I would like to know how to do something like that. What I am thinking of is a banner (468x60) on a website. When you click on the banner, the link from the banner opens in a new window. After the banner has been clicked, 5 seconds later, the page goes to the destination site. This would force the people to click the banner if they would like to go to a certain site. Is that possible to do with simple HTML? Is it complicated to do? Where can I learn how to do this?

#2) Also, does anyone know where I can learn about using cookies? I would like to imlement the use of cookies in my site, but I always figured it was too complicated. Is it something hard to learn?

Thank you guys for all your help in advance. This website is very helpful.

You can use a javascript function to open a pop up window. Just give the bannaer an ID in the html and also give it a onclick fuction that calls the open popup javascript function in the header part of your HTML. There are tons of sites that give out free javascripts. Just search for free javascripts on yahoo. All you have to do is copy and paste them into your HTML.
