I’ve been asked to create a page that only shows up once for a user. This page is to include a form that the user fills out, but once the user has filled it out, they wouldn’t see the page pop up ever again. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
I was told to build an ip logger that checks the database for ip addresses and only shows the page if the ip address is unique. That might be way beyond my ability. Is there a program out there that I could possibly use?
My client wants this done asap, so any help would be much appreciated…
Thanks in advance!

hi jules
you could do this by using a database and keeping track of the number of times the user logs in.
or you could count the number of times they are on each page(or the page).
ip addresses can be used but you still need either a database or an xml file to store the data.
im not aware of a program that can do this,.
but maybe there is some code, plugin or script that you can get that will do this for you.

im way to late
Another popular way to accomplish this is with a cookie; to track the fact that this user (actually, this computer) has already completed the form.
You can do this with Javascript - less than completely reliable, or a server technology like PHP or RoR.
