Question

I am trying to implement a subscription box that activates the first time you visit the website.

At the moment the subscription modal doesnt load when you first visit the site and I can’t figure out why?

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).load(function(){
         // load the overlay
        if (document.cookie.indexOf('visited=true') == -1) {
            var fifteenDays = 1000*60*60*24*15;
            var expires = new Date((new Date()).valueOf() + fifteenDays);
            document.cookie = "visited=true;expires=" + expires.toUTCString();
            jQuery.modal({width:"580px", inline:true, href:"#myModal"});
        }
    });
</script>

I can load the modal by click a link but I need to automatically popup when a user first visits. Can anyone see what is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

First you’re referring to:

jQuery('#myModal')

And later you are referring to:

jQuery('.myModal')

Is it a class or an id? Probably that is your mistake.

On a side-note, you may wish to specify the language-attribute on your script tag.
