Question

Is there a way to make this snippet fire off ONLY if my own IP is visiting the site?

        $('#preloader').delay(5555).fadeOut(1234,function(){  
           $(this).remove();
        });

Something like (pseudo-code):
“IF ip is NOT 127.0.0.1, do nothing.”

(I’m open to a PHP solution if that would be easier.)

Thanks!

Javascript cannot get the IP of the visitor, so a sever-side solution is the only one possible. Try this:

<?php if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '1.1.1.1') { // your IP instead of 1.1.1.1 ?>
    $('#preloader').delay(5555).fadeOut(1234,function(){  
        $(this).remove();
    });
<? } ?>
