Question

I have a message that pops up when a user first visit my homepage. I’m trying to make that the message doesn’t pop up if you have visited the page within the last 15 days. I’m thinking on using the jquery.cookie plugin to achieve that but not sure exactly how to use it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I’m using the colorbox plugin for my popup message, here is the code:

$(function () {
    $(window).bind('load',
    function (e) {
        window.setTimeout(function () {
            $.colorbox({ opacity: 0.3, href: "popupQualify.aspx" });
        }, /*timeout->*/2000);
    });
});

Answer 1

Check for the cookie, show the popup if it is not present. Then set the cookie with expiration of 15 days.

$(function () {
    if($.cookie('nopopup') === null)
    {
        window.setTimeout(function () {
            $.colorbox({opacity: 0.3, href: 'popupQualify.aspx'});
        }, 2000);
    }

    $.cookie('nopopup', 'true', {expires: 15});
});
