Creating a First Visit Web Page Pop Up Window
Monday, July 14th, 2008It’s a proven fact that the use of popup windows is an effective marketing technique that produces great results. However, they can be very irritating to your visitors. How can you use this powerful marketing technique without offending your visitors? Compromise and use a popup window that only displays the first time your visitor enters your site.
Place the following code within the <BODY> of your web page.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
<!–
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 “here”;
i=document.cookie.indexOf(” “,i)+1;
if (i==0) break;
}
return null;
}
var visit=GetCookie(”COOKIE1″);
if (visit==null){
var expire=new Date();
window.name = “thiswin”;
newwin=open(”yourpage.htm”, “dispwin”,
“width=450,height=455,scrollbars=yes,
menubar=no”);
expire=new Date(expire.getTime()+7776000000);
document.cookie=”COOKIE1=here; expires=”+expire;
}
// –>
</SCRIPT>
Change the text where indicated in red.
The “yourpage.htm” text specifies the popup window url.
Change the height and width to your preferred window size.
