I want a popup to open when I load a page, but I need to check if a cookie exists first.

SO, if cookie <> "" then popup will open.

Any code snippets guys?

are you using a behavior for the pop-up window or are you going to hand code the whole thing?

what is your language of choice? ASP I can help with...

I was going to hand code it. And ASP / VBscript would be my choice......

if request.cookies("insertcookienamehere"<> "" then

or to be more precise:

if request.cookies("cookiename" = "value" then

I would go with the second choice, that way you are sure that you are getting what you want and not just whether or not the cookie exists.

Chariot, thanks for the reply but that is not the bit I am stuck with....

Once I have checked the cookie value I want to open a popup window and it is the openinig of the popup window I am stuck on.

Sorry, guess I mis understood.

I can understand the desire to hand code it, but why would you when there several really good, free extensions that will do it for you? There is also the Advanced Open Window here (not free) that is just super...

Problem is, i dont want the whole code that is used for the advanced open window extension, just the single line needed to open the window but I cant get the syntax right........

so simple, but so illuding...!
