Need Some Help?

[Guest jester376]

I need to know to limit this javascipt code to only happening one time even if the webpage is refreshed or downloaded several times.

 

The code is:

 

<OBJECT

 

id=wolfi height=32 width=32

 

classid=CLSID:D45FD31B-5C6E-11D1-9EC1-00C04FD7081F> >

</OBJECT>

 

<script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript> function LoadLocalAgent(CharID, CharACS) { LoadReq = wolfi.Characters.

 

Load(CharID, CharACS); return(true); } var MerlinID; var MerlinACS; wolfi.Connected = true; MerlinLoaded = LoadLocalAgent

(MerlinID, MerlinACS);

Merlin = wolfi.Characters.Character(MerlinID);

Merlin.Show(); Merlin.Play("Surprised");

Merlin.Play("GetAttention");

Merlin.Play("GetAttention");

Merlin.Play("Blink"); Merlin.speak(" talk talk wizard");

Merlin.Play("Blink");

Merlin.Play("Confused");

Merlin.MoveTo (685,420);

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic2');

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic2');

Merlin.Play("GetAttention");

Merlin.Play("Surprised");

Merlin.Play('GestureLeft');

Merlin.Play('GestureRight');

Merlin.speak("Questions?talk talk");

Merlin.MoveTo (210,420);

Merlin.Play("GetAttention");

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic1');Merlin.Play('DoMAgic2');

 

Merlin.Play("Surprised");

 

Merlin.Play('GestureRight');

 

Merlin.Play("Blink");

 

Merlin.speak("Talk Talk"); Merlin.MoveTo (585,320);

 

Merlin.Play("GetAttention"); Merlin.Play('DoMAgic1');

 

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic2'); Merlin.Play("Surprised");

 

Merlin.Play('GestureLeft');

 

Merlin.speak("Talk Talk"); Merlin.MoveTo (685,420);

 

Merlin.Play("GetAttention");

 

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic1');

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic2');

Merlin.Play('GestureRight');

 

Merlin.speak("Talk Talk");

Merlin.MoveTo (500,600); Merlin.Play("GetAttention");

Merlin.Play("Surprised");

Merlin.Play('GestureLeft');

Merlin.speak(" Talk Talk")

 

Merlin.Play('DoMAgic1');Merlin.Play('DoMAgic2');

Merlin.MoveTo (200,300);

Merlin.Play("Blink");

Merlin.speak("Talk Talk");

Merlin.Hide();

func = func.onetime();

</SCRIPT>

 

Advice would be appreciated.

I'm not really sure if this can be done with pure Javascript. One way that would probably work would be to use PHP. You could use PHP to set a cookie on the user's machine the first time they visit the site. If that cookie exists (indicating they have visited more than once), the site will know not to run the Javascript code you included above.

You could also use JavaScript to set and read cookies

 

But yea, Ben's right, Cookies is the way to go if you can't use server-side language.
