irkevin Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Is this possible.. i have a function which is in the head section,, then i call it with <body onload="myFunc();"> the problem is, i want this function to run only once.. sadly, when the user click a link, the function keeps running on and on. how to prevent this?

jackpf Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 What does the function do..? The function is only run when the page is loaded, so it should only run once unless your refreshing the page or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irkevin Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well, since im clicking on lets say 'HOme' , the page would refresh .. isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well yeah, you see, onload means when the page loads. So, each time you load the page the function will run. What is it that you're trying to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irkevin Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 function getB() { if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent)) { //test for MSIE x.x; var ieversion=new Number(RegExp.$1) // capture x.x portion and store as a number if (ieversion>=8 || ieversion>=7 || ieversion>=6 || ieversion>=5) { t1 = new Tween(document.getElementById('showIT').style,'height',Tween.strongEaseOut,0,300,2); t2 = new ColorTween(document.getElementById('showIT').style,'backgroundColor',Tween.strongEaseIn,'E8E8E8','000000',1) t1.start(); t2.start(); t1.onMotionFinished = function() { var show = document.getElementById('showText'); show.innerHTML = "<b>MESSAGE FROM MU-ANIME STAFF</b><br /><br /><b>We've noticed that you're using Internet Explorer to surf the website.

jackpf Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hmm...well, I'd personally use php. You could do something like this..? if(!isset($_COOKIE['done'])) { echo '<script type="text/javascript"> //all your javascript stuff here... window.onload = function() { yourFunction(); } </script>'; $expire = time() + time(); setcookie('done', 'done', $expire, '/', '.yourdomain.co.uk'); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackpf Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Oooh...are you getting an error about modifying header information? If so, you'll have to use put ob_start(); at the top of your script and ob_end_flush(); at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irkevin Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 oops. there no header errors on my website :s... can you check again plz and confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpf Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Are you sure there aren't any errors? Try putting this in the script... if(isset($_COOKIE['done'])) { echo $_COOKIE['done']; } else { echo 'cookie not set'; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
