Subscribe Popup if visitor does Not Subscribe or Disable Popup

Hi, fellow SitePoint members! first posting for me, so go easy

Subscribe Popup if visitor does Not Subscribe or Disable Popup

I was interested in how I would do this? I assume I will need cookies to do this, but I am unsure how or what code should be on the 2 pages..


Here's an example scenario of what I mean:

1. visitor clicks on a link at "content_page1.htm"

2. opens "subscribe_popup.htm" and than "index.html" both in new windows.

Note: "subscribe_popup.htm" has a popup message asking them to subscribe via a text form & a check box option to disable the popup from reoccuring until 3 more days

If visitor submits their email address, "subscribe_popup.htm" will not show ever again.

Note: "index.html" should load in a new window regardless


and, ..if I use this on all my content page links, is there a easy way to embed it into all my content pages?


Anyone have code for this for each of these pages? Greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here is some code for the "don't ask me again" checkbox:

<script>
function never(checked) {
  var date = new Date();
  if (checked)
    date.setYear(date.getYear()+1);
  else
    date.setYear(date.getYear()-1);
  document.cookie = "never=true; expires="+date.toString();
}
</script>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="never(this.checked)">

Then on content_page1.htm you open the window like this:

if (document.cookie.indexOf("never=true") == -1)
  window.open("subscribe_popup.htm");
