Okay I have the below code, which will allow me to either click the link or hover over the link to show the pop-up. I would like to be able to edit it to make it open on page load. I would also like to be able to have it open only once per visitor per week.

I am new to this so any help would be great!

Thanks

You'll have to include in the user table the last time they were shown the popup. Then whenever a user first visits the site (or logs in) check the current timestamp against the last popup timestamp. If its been a week show the popup and update the users popup timestamp to the current timestamp.

I'm not sure how to do that could you explain a little more or show me some sample code?
Collin
you will have to know some server-side language. What server side language do you know?
