Question

I have session variable called page views. When my page is loaded I have a Check to see if it equals 2. IF it does i want to execute code to open a window. Right now i can click a link to open that window and it works fine. How can i get it to automatically open when the page is loaded.

Jquery and Session Checkc code in my page

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>
<% if (Session["PagesViewed"].ToString() == "2")
   { %>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

        //select all the a tag with name equal to modal
        $('a[name=modal]').click(function (e) {
            //Cancel the link behavior
            e.preventDefault();

            //Get the A tag
            var id = $(this).attr('href');

            //Get the screen height and width
            var maskHeight = $(document).height();
            var maskWidth = $(window).width();

            //Set heigth and width to mask to fill up the whole screen
            $('#mask').css({ 'width': maskWidth, 'height': maskHeight });

            //transition effect     
            $('#mask').fadeIn(1000);
            $('#mask').fadeTo("slow", 0.8);

            //Get the window height and width
            var winH = $(window).height();
            var winW = $(window).width();

            //Set the popup window to center
            $(id).css('top', winH / 2 - $(id).height() / 2);
            $(id).css('left', winW / 2 - $(id).width() / 2);

            //transition effect
            $(id).fadeIn(2000);

        });

        //if close button is clicked
        $('.window .close').click(function (e) {
            //Cancel the link behavior
            e.preventDefault();

            $('#mask').hide();
            $('.window').hide();
        });

        //if mask is clicked
        $('#mask').click(function () {
            $(this).hide();
            $('.window').hide();
        });

    });
</script>

<% } %>

THis link is used to open the page. But i want to do this automatically when the page is loaded.

<a href="#dialog" name="modal">Simple Window Modal</a>

Answer 1

change

$('a[name=modal]').click(function (e) {
        //Cancel the link behavior
        e.preventDefault();

        //Get the A tag
        var id = $(this).attr('href');

to

        //Get the A tag
        var id = $('a[name=modal]').attr('href');

and remove the }); after

$(id).fadeIn(2000);

    });
