In onload make an overlay div that has 100% height 100% width that's display is block or something background color grey. put a next button in that div and onclick on that overlay divs display becomes none. If you want it to fade in and out like the lightbox look at jquery.

For example: http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2007...script-needed/

When you say you want it to appear the first time a user visits your site, do you mean "a first time user", or anyone who visits the site, this is the first thing they see.

If you are referring to a "first time user", then you'll need to use cookies.
