I am volunteering at a hospital and working on the intranet. They want an option to have a pop up message but they only want it to pop up once or twice, and then be able to change the content and have it re pop-up.
Example: week1 how to properly wash your hands
Week2: system wide meeting on thursday dont forget. etc etc..
I am not very good in Java. but this is what i have so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Greatly appreciated.
also we use active directory, so i dont know if we could maybe pull by user name? Thanks
