Question

i use the code below to open a new window when a user drops by my site using jquery document ready function.

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){
  window.open('link','title','width=460,height=500,status=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=0,menubar=no,resizable=yes,top=460,left=600'); 
return false
});

</script>

However , it keeps on popping out on every single page that have this code.
What i want to do is only pop out this window ONCE for users that do not have this window opened.
If a user have this window opened and it will no longer pop out a new one.

So how can i do this??

Answer 1

give the window a name

If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then strUrl is loaded into the existing window.

just make sure your window openers use the same name so that they open in the same window if the window with that name is already open. (wooh! tongue twister!)
