DoubleClick has multiple meanings for interstitials. The ad type that i'm looking for is the one where the user is redirected to a dedicated ad page upon clicking a link within the site. The ad page itself is set to redirect the user to the original link after a given period of time or upon clicking a "Skip ad" button.
After hours and hours of searching i couldn't come up with a solution to this.
The reason i'm writing this message in the Javascript forum is because i figured it must be done with javascript only. Scripting this server side would make things very easy but i find it hard to belive that this is how it's done. I'm thinking that since DoubleClick delivers a script to my pages, the interstitial showing up or not is dictated by the delivered script.
I found some docs on how to redirect the user to a given page on the "onUload" event but i haven't managed to save the original link (the user is redirected to the ad page but i have no clue where he was trying to get to and therefore i have no link for the second redirect or for the "Skip ad" button)
Can this be done with javascript only? If the answer is yes then could you please give me a heads up start on how to do it?
Note: by javascript only i'm referring to a working script that is delivered by DoubleClick through the editable rich media container in the ad server, without making any modification to the site at all.
Thank you for your time!
