I have an html page that open a popup window when the page loads.

I need to set the popup only when the page open first time. I think session or cookie is to be set.

    <script>

        !window.jQuery && document.write('<script src=fancybox/jquery-1.4.3.min.js></script>');

    </script>

    <script type=text/javascript src=fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js></script>       

    <script type=text/javascript>

    $(document).ready(function() {  

        $(a#example1).fancybox();     

        $(a#example1).trigger('click');           

    });



    </script>   

    <link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.css media=screen />  

</head>

<body>

<a id=example1 href=images/pic.jpg></a> 

</body>

Use localStorage to store the fact that you opened the page :

$(document).ready(function() {

    var yetVisited = localStorage['visited'];

    if (!yetVisited) {

        // open popup

        localStorage['visited'] = yes;

    }

});
