Displaying label control depending on condition

Question

I have three pages on my site. Page 1 is home page. When user visits the site, i display label control to user in Page 1. When the same user goes to page 2 , 3 and returns back to page 1, i do not want the label to show again. How can i do this?

Answer 1

You would have to write a cookie to the client on page 2 then check for its existence upon loading page 1. If they have the cookie don't show the label. There is a pretty good jquery cookie plugin here.

Answer 2

You need to use the Request.UrlReferrer property:
