hey all... can any of you help me... ive a script that when the user enters the site a popup appears askin for there name... the user enters there name... i need to make the name appear all the time on the site instead of askin the person there name everytime they enter the site... do you think that entering the name of the visitor is annoying please tell me or can someone help me make a cookie version of the following script:

<head><script LANGUAGE="Javascript">var namePrompt =  prompt("Who are you?","");if (namePrompt == null || namePrompt == "") namePrompt = "Web Surfer";function dispname (namePrompt) { document.write(""+namePrompt+"");}</SCRIPT></head><body><script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">datetoday = new Date();timenow=datetoday.getTime();datetoday.setTime(timenow);thehour = datetoday.getHours();if (thehour > 18) display = "Evening";else if (thehour >12) display = "Afternoon";else display = "Morning";var greeting = ("<font face='Verdana'>Good " + display + "!");document.write(greeting);document.write(" Thanks for visiting, ");dispname(namePrompt);document.write("!</font>");</SCRIPT></body></head>

Overall code, i used the w3schools js example:

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function getCookie(c_name){if (document.cookie.length>0){ c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=")if (c_start!=-1){ c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1 c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start)if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.lengthreturn unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end))} }return null}function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays){var exdate=new Date()exdate.setDate(expiredays)document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+((expiredays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate)}function checkCookie(){username=getCookie('username')if (username!=null)  {datetoday = new Date();timenow=datetoday.getTime();datetoday.setTime(timenow);thehour = datetoday.getHours();if (thehour > 18) display = "Evening";else if (thehour >12) display = "Afternoon";else display = "Morning";alert('Good '+display+' '+username+'!')}else   {  username=prompt('Please enter your name:',"")  if (username!=null||username!="")    {    setCookie('username',username,365)    }  }}</script></head><body onLoad="checkCookie()"></body></html>

Easy. Put this code in the place you want the words to appear:

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function getCookie(c_name){if (document.cookie.length>0){c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=")if (c_start!=-1){c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(";",c_start)if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.lengthreturn unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end))}}return null}function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays){var exdate=new Date()exdate.setDate(expiredays)document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+((expiredays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate)}function checkCookie(){username=getCookie('username')if (username!=null) {datetoday = new Date();timenow=datetoday.getTime();datetoday.setTime(timenow);thehour = datetoday.getHours();if (thehour > 18) display = "Evening";else if (thehour >12) display = "Afternoon";else display = "Morning";document.getElementById("thing").innerHTML='Good '+display+' '+username+'!'}else { username=prompt('Please enter your name:',"") if (username!=null||username!="")   {   setCookie('username',username,365)   } }}</script></head><body onLoad="checkCookie()"></body></html>
