3D spinning message

[SilverWolf]

1) Script Title: 3D spinning message


2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici.../circlemsg.htm

3) Describe problem: How can I make the spinning message load only once upon entering my site.

Right now if you click the return to "Home" link it loads, or if you have to refresh a page it loads, or if I am up dating a page it loads.

I would really appriecate some help please and thank you.

You would need a cookie for that. Near the end of the script, where it has:

	if (window.attachEvent) //DD added code
	window.attachEvent("onload", changeform) //DD added code
	else
	window.onload=changeform

Make it like so:

	if(!readCookie('spinner')){
	if (window.attachEvent) //DD added code
	window.attachEvent("onload", changeform) //DD added code
	else
	window.onload=changeform
		}
	createCookie('spinner');

And add this cookie code from quirksmode.org just before the </script> tag:

function createCookie(name,value,days) {
	if (days) {
		var date = new Date();
		date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
		var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
	}
	else var expires = "";
	document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

function readCookie(name) {
	var nameEQ = name + "=";
	var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
	for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
		var c = ca[i];
		while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
		if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
	}
	return null;
}

function eraseCookie(name) {
	createCookie(name,"",-1);
}
