Can you alter this to your specifications ?

var now = new Date()
fixDate(now)
now.setTime(now.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
var visits = getCookie("replied")
if (!visits)
document.write('This is where to put whatever you want it to do if the cookie DOES NOT existThe cookie has now been set so the next time you visit this page, you will get a different message.')
else
document.write('This is where to put whatever you want it to do if the cookie exists')
setCookie("replied", visits, now)

// -->
</script>

I had nothing better to do tonight !

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the scripts in those threads but couldn't make enough sense of them, lol. I was hoping somebody knew a somewhat standard script for that which I could basically cut and paste, for the most part. Looked the web over didn't find something like that. lol, you see, Im not the custom coding Javascript extraordinaire superhero type. I struggle with it and sometimes fiddle and smile widely when the fiddling works. I know you people have better things to do. But if you know of anything let me know would ya. I'll tip my hat to you. That in itself is a beautiful thing.

Thanks.

Hey Max,

No, all cookies are not javascript based. But they can all be turned off by the browser.
You can set cookies in most any language (JS,ASP,PHP,Perl,etc.).
