Hi

I have a two part question.

  1. Using Curl is it possible to use a textbox on another page or site or div, that captures user input and posts it to a Stack Exchange / Stack Overflow 'Ask Question' Page so that the title of the question is then populated.

something along the lines of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?questiontitle=blah blah blah

  1. How do I only show a div the first x times a visitor comes to my site and also offer the ability for this div to be manually closed by a click

To put some context around my question, I have a Stack Exchange site called My Realty Questions. At the moment all traffic lands on the main home / question page in the same way as Stack Overflow.

What I would like is that a first time visitor sees only a big text box (maybe a few other things too) with the ability to add a question title and then on submit, be directed to the 'Ask Question' page with the Question Title Field already completed based on their previous input.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

Jonathan
