creating a splash screen before entering home page

I am looking for a javascript code by which when the user first opens my website he sees a splash page which has skip button or which closes automatically after 30 sec and then it moves to the home page of my website.

I have tried creating popups but it gets blocked by popblocker, so please suggest other alternative.

the splash screen created by this code does not work in earlier browsers such as IE5 or IE 6. How do i make sure it runs on all the browser

The script will not work in IE 5, but is fine in IE 5.5 and 6 except that it's detection routine excludes them. Change:

Code:

---

browserdetectstr: (window.opera&&window.getSelection) || (!window.opera && window.XMLHttpRequest), //current browser detect string to limit the script to be run in (Opera9 and other "modern" browsers)

---

to:

Code:

---

browserdetectstr: (document.getElementById), //current browser detect string to limit the script to be run in (Opera9 and other "modern" browsers)

---

But then IE 5 will get in, so add (as shown):

Code:

---

init:function(){
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if(@_jscript_version >= 5)
if (navigator.appVersion.replace(/^.*MSIE (\d+\.\d+).*$/, '$1') < 5.5)
return;
@end @*/
        if (this.enablefrequency==1){ //if frequency control turned on
                if (/sessiononly/i.test(this.displayfrequency)){ //if session only control
                        if (this.getCookie(t . . .
