I want to know if the user visited the site before and here's why I need this: I have two main audiences (researchers and general public) and I want to show a splash page the first time someone visits the site and let them choose between the two options. From then on they should be able to see pages for their kind even if they don't register. How can I do this? I'm guessing using cookies or even finding out if there is one for my site could be the ticket but I'm not familiar with cookies and I'm wondering if there are other approaches. ===== --------------------------- Adrian Esteban Madrid Benson Institute, Webmaster Brigham Young University --------------------------- adrian_esteban@madrid.com =========================== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
