Closeable divs for site messages

JavaScript

Hey guys,

In need of some guidance here :slight_smile:

Looking to have a div on my page that will give the user some tips or help for that specific page.

There should be a “dont show me again button” so the div will dissapear and the user wont see it again…

What is the best way to approach this?

Ajax calls, cookies, session variables, storing info in mysql?. Im developing in PHP

Ive heard a lot of different ways but looking for the best way…

Help much appreciated…

Stuart

Are the users logged in? - if so, you should probably add their preferences to the db. If not, then cookies is the best option - i.e. add a cookie via JS (lookup document.cookie) and then hide/remove the element.

Thanks for the reply JimmyP. :slight_smile: sorry should have specified… Users will be logged in for this.

Cheers
