    Hi,

    I have entered into a partnership with a company to display a full ad page. This page will be put at many places in the website. However, I want visitors to only see this page once per visit ... how can I do this?

    Help would be greatly appreciated on this issue ...

    Thanks

    All I really know is html and css, but I think you need to do something with javascript and sessions and cookies.

    Thanks, now I know I need a javascript.

    Would anyone be able to write me a javascript that would do this:

    I have a full page ad that I want to put in some places in my website (in-between 2 pages), but I only want visitors to see it once per session/visit.

    I would like someone to write me a javascript for that and show me how to install it on the different pages.

    I am willing to pay a fee for this service. Nothing much, but as a thank you gesture.

    Try openads if you can spare the resources and will ever have the need for more than one ad or one place to run it.

    It is kind of resource intense but wow it sure is versatile and it opensource too.

    Thanks. It looks really interesting. I have 3 questions though:

    What do you mean by resource intensive?
    Is it free?
    What are the pros and cons of their product? Anyone has experience to share/recommendations?

    Thanks

    opensource means it's free.

    resource intensive means it uses up resources quite a lot (bandwidth/space)

    yeah it uses some bandwidth, but with todays shared hosting accounts it normally wont matter unless you have a really really really busy site.
