    Hi

    I want a script that when you click on the url a pop up box appears, stating your terms and conditions only when the visitor clicks agree can they view the site.

    I found a script to do it a while ago but can't remember what search term I used at the time so I can't find it again.

    A refresher from someone would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Dee

    Hi

    I remembered the search term I used I'm sure it was disclaimer script but I cannot find the script I previously seen.

    I have seen ones where you get the javascript alert box but that's not what I am looking for.

    I want it so that you have the look of a lightbox, where when the page loads the background is coloured over and only when you click I agree can you view the site.

    I didn't post in B/S/T because I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a ready made script, but if not and someone can write me one please let me know the cost.

    Thanks

    Dee

    This is probably along the lines of an external link warning
    There are plenty of such scripts which provide a warning that you are leaving the website and the visitor is required to confirm they want to proceed 

    <script type="text/javascript">
 function Warn() {
 window.alert('Warning the link you have clicked is an external link; we are not responsible for any content on this site');
 }
 </script>
 
<a href="externallink.com" onclick="Warn();">External</a>
    Code (markup):
    You could modify this to give a choice for yes / no

    Thanks, but the client wants a bit more than an alert box

    I want it to work the way a lightbox does but instead of a image, I want a pop up containing their terms and a check box for them to agree. It must load as soon as the page loads.

    Does anyone know how to achieve this?

    I've heard people using the term splashscreen... You could create an Ajax or Javascript box for HTML... I've used a plugin for Wordpress called Splashscreen that does the exact thing you're looking for. Hope this helps.
