My client is asking that once a viewer visits his website, the onLoad popup
window not show up again.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks, Marje

How does one get to the point of having clients without knowing
about cookies?

Set a cookie. If the cookie can be found by the script, dont show the
popup. This doesnt work if the visitor has disabled cookies.

Not to use the damn things.
Most of us block them anyhow. Either with popup blockers or by using
Netscape/Mozilla and disabling them. They are horrible, horrible things.
If he insists, cookies. Set one on first visit, then check before
popping up window. However, many of us delete cookies daily, so that
might not work too well for everyone.
Then again, those of us who delete them tend to be the same people who
disable popups to begin with.
If cookies are not looking great, check IP address, write it to a
database table, then check that before popping up window. Requires a
database and server-side scripting.
have fun. :)

And a lack of minimum clue about the workings of the Internet.
IP addresses are either dynamic or static. If they are dynamic,
the user gets the popup anyway since his IP address has most
certainly changed on next logon. If they are static, in most
cases you will get the static IP address of a HTTP proxy, thus
other users of that proxy will not see the popup in the first
place.
Ceterum censeo: Onload popups are a Bad Thing, avoid them.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
