below script is working to make popup only appear once in our website, but maybe its need some edit/fix
For example its working
first, user go to www.example.com/01/01/2009/title/ page -> then the popup appear
then the user go to www.example.com/01/01/2009/title/2.html page -> the popup NOT appear, so the script is working to make popup only appear once
but its not working if the user go to another path/folder, for example
first, user go to www.example.com/01/01/2009/title/ page -> then the popup appear
then the user go to www.example.com/01/01/2009/title2/ page -> the popup APPEAR AGAIN, so the script is not working if the path/folder different, still in same domain
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain,secure) {
var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
document.cookie = curCookie;
}function getCookie(name) {
var dc = document.cookie;
var prefix = name + "=";
var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
if (begin == -1) {
begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
if (begin != 0) return null;
} else
begin += 2;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1)
end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
}function pop()
{
theUrl = "http://www.yahoo.com";
window.open(theUrl,"theWindow","width=400,height=400,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes")
}var seen = getCookie("seen");
if (!seen) {
var now = new Date();
now.setTime(now.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
setCookie("seen", 1, now);
pop();
}//-->

[edit reason] Fixed formatting, removed link to other forum, exemplified URLs [/edit]
When you set path, I think it it sets it for that path only or all paths below it if not specified. So eliminating path you set the cookie for the entire domain. (May be incorrect, but worth a try.)
