How to create an Auto Pop Up Window on homepage

[Guest]

Hi, I am trying to create a pop up window in dreamweaver that loads when a first time visitor is on our homepage asking them to join our club. I would like to add a couple links in the image allowing them to either sign up or click no thanks. Can you help me out or direct me to a good tutorial? Thanks!

when a first time visitor is on our homepage

That's a fantastic tutorial you linked to and should be very helpful for those that can not google the term popup window to find out how to do it themselves. Unfortunately the pop up window that you recommended will popup e-v-e-r-y time a user visits the page. To develop the feature that the OP requested you need additional methods to prevent the popup from occurring everytime, like creating a cookie the first time the popup is displayed and then using a method to determine if a cookie is set to show the pop up or not.

I found a great download for the pop up window code. It is http://scripts.tropicalpcsolutions.com/html/javascript/auto-center-pop-up-window-javascript.html I have added it to my page and manipulated it to represent the design of the website.

Hi,

in addition: did you try the "alert-box technique" already?

I have not tried the "alert-box technique" yet.

I have found code that will only display for first time visitors. How would I add an image to the below code with a link to a website?

newwin=open("yourpage.htm", "dispwin",
"width=350,height=350,scrollbars=no,menubar=no");
