Title: Interstitial Content Box "Don't show again" link

[coursons]

1) Script Title: Interstitial Content Box (v1.1)

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

3) Describe problem: I would love to be able to include an option on this script to continue displaying the ad once per browser session, but include an option for a site visitor to select "Don't show me this again." Since a cookie is already being used in this script, is there any way to add a link to not show again to that particular visitor for x number of days?

if (getCookie(stitialvars.cookiename)=='never'){
 setCookie(stitialvars.cookiename, "never",1000);
 interstitialBox.launch=false;
}


if (interstitialBox.launch)
interstitialBox.initialize()

to control

<input type="button" name="" value="Never Show" onclick="setCookie(stitialvars.cookiename, 'never',1000);" />
<input type="button" name="" value="Cancel Never Show" onclick="setCookie(stitialvars.cookiename, 'never',-1);" />

or to change the interstitial box

//3) HTML for the header bar portion of the interstitial box
defineheader: '<div class="headerbar"><a href="#" onClick="javascript:interstitialBox.closeit(); return false"><img src="http://www.vicsjavascripts.org/StdImages/1.gif" style="border: 0;width:50px;" title="Close Box"/></a><input type="button" name="" value="Never Show" onclick="setCookie(stitialvars.cookiename, \'never\',1000);" /></div>',

Thank you so much! This is fantastic! I just have a couple of simple follow up questions.

1. In the js file, does the "1000" referenced in the 'never,1000' refer to how many days the cookie will prevent the ad from showing again?
2. Is there a way I can make the "Never Show" box also close the ad when clicked?

YES

2. Is there a way I can make the "Never Show" box also close the ad when clicked?

defineheader: '<div class="headerbar"><a href="#" onClick="javascript:interstitialBox.closeit(); return false"><img src="http://www.vicsjavascripts.org/StdImages/1.gif" style="border: 0;width:50px;" title="Close Box"/></a><input type="button" name="" value="Never Show" onclick="setCookie(stitialvars.cookiename, \'never\',1000);interstitialBox.closeit();" /></div>',

or in this part of the script

if (getCookie(stitialvars.cookiename)=='never'){
 setCookie(stitialvars.cookiename, "never",1000);
 interstitialBox.closeit();
 interstitialBox.launch=false;
}
