Adding popup message

Jan 2, 2011 11:50 AM

Hey guys,

First of all Happy new Year to all.

I need someone help urgently:( i was suppose to launch my website yesterday the 1st of january, and my website partner left me with tight hands. So i have decided to launch the site either way, even though i still have a few things to edit and stuff. My idea is to create a popup message so that when users get to the homepage, it would popup to let them know that we are still working on a few things, but the site is fully working. I have no clue what the code is or where to put it. I need help urgently , if someone could help me i would so much appreciate. I am pretty desperate. helpppppp pleaaaseeee.

Thank you ever so much

LMartins

Why not instead of a "we are not finnished but here it is anyway" type (annoying) pop up, but some banner or other message to say "New exicitng additions coming soon....check back soon."

Browser Pop-Up Blockers will defeat a conventional pop-up window from opening on page load. If you're under a deadline, simply put your message on the top of your home page where it will be seen.

Well the message text is the least i am worried about right now, i will fit into my needs. I really prefer to add a popup message instead of having it typed in my home page because of two things, there isn´t space enough for it and if i wanted to do that i had to change alot of the design. Isn´t there a easy why for this to add the popup ?
PS - The site is finished completly, just working on some language ( french ) editing and adding more stuff such as events.

Thank you once again

If you're good with code, this jQuery Sexy Alert Box might do what you need.
Click on Sexy Info Box.

1) Download the Sexy Alert Box scripts and CSS from Google and save them to the Scripts folder in your local site.

2) Insert code between the <head> and </head> tags like so. Change YOUR WELCOME MESSAGE as desired.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js" /> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/sexyalertbox.v1.2.jquery.mini.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="Scripts/sexyalertbox.css"/>

<!--begin event cookie -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function addListener(obj, evt, handler)
{
if (obj.addEventListener)
{
obj.addEventListener(evt, handler, false);
}
else if (obj.attachEvent)
{
obj.attachEvent('on' + evt, handler);
}
}
addListener(window, 'load', function()
{
if (!/info/.test(window.name))
{
Sexy.info('<h1>YOUR WELCOME MESSAGE GOES HERE!<\/h1><p>The rest of your message goes here.<\/p>');
window.name = 'info';
}
}
);
</script>

You don't need to pay for this download. jQuery is open source.

will the code you gave me make it popup as soon as someone login, at the homepage ?

Yes.

i don´t want it to popup all the time but one, everytime they login.

I added a cookie. They'll only see it one time per browser session.

I've done everything but download the Scripts for you.

The code I gave you will work. It's not all that complicated.

it´s all good sweetie, i have been working alot today on the design and perhaps i simply couldn´t concentrate, i removed the files from my site for now, maybe tomorrow i´ll give it another go. It´s just one of those days that when one is tired there´s no way to concentrate.

Thanks Again,
