Question

In a ASP.NET/JQuery/.NET 3.5 environment, how would I show a DIV with a “Don’t show this message again” option when clicked will not show the DIV to the user.

I would need to do it in 2 different scenarios – 1 with authenticated users and the other with anonymous users.

Answer 1

I used jquery cookie plugin to set a cookie and read it before i show the dialog

EXAMPLE: with a little bonus function

  if ($.cookie("warned") != "warned"){
    display_alert("WARNING: This diallog will not appear again until your next session");
    $.cookie('warned', 'warned', { expires: 0 }); 
  }

  function display_alert(message,title) {
    title = title || "Alert";
      $('#alert').text(message);

      $("#alert").dialog({
          autoOpen: false,
          bgiframe: true,
          modal: true,
        title:title,
          buttons: {
              OK: function() {
                  $(this).dialog('close');
              }
          }
      });
    $('#alert').dialog('option', 'title', title);
      $("#alert").dialog('open');
  }
