I have been trying to find a post that I think was on a long time ago but I will repost and ask this question.....I have a very short welcome audio that plays in the background as a hidden plug-in. I would like to add code so that it only plays on first entry to the page not each time someone returns to that page...I believe I saw a post which said how to do this. Any suggestions or references?

Also, I have hover buttons which I am trying to assign onclick wav files. Some of the button wav files work and some do not. Is there a trick to this? I read something about using au files instead of wav files but the wav files SEEM to work on other buttons.

Any help? Thank you very much!

Code: 
//cookie for entrancescript
function onLoadFunction(){
 if(!getCookie("P5day"))

play();// this is where you put your audio function

   SetCookie("P5day","yes");
} 

function getCookie (name) 
{ 
  var arg = name + "="; 
  var alen = arg.length; 
  var clen = document.cookie.length;
  var i = 0; 

  while (i < clen) 
  {
          var j = i + alen;
     if (document.cookie.substring(i, j) == arg){ 
        return getCookieVal (j);
     }

     i = document.cookie.indexOf(" ", i) + 1; 
     if (i == 0) break; 
     
  }
  return null;
}

function getCookieVal(offset) {
var endstr = document.cookie.indexOf (";", offset);
if (endstr == -1)
endstr = document.cookie.length;
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, endstr));
}

function SetCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
var midnight = new Date()
midnight.setHours(23,59,59,999)
expires = midnight

  var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
      ((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
      ((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
      ((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
      ((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
  document.cookie = curCookie;
}
//end cookie for entrancescript

WOW THank you VERY much! I'm certain that my visitors will thank you as well. I like the effect of a very brief intro audio but not every time they visit the page of course. I am not sure how to but could someone please mark this so that people will see this is a very GOOD post. Thank you again!
