Add A Splash Page On Your Site

T his is a very nice effect to give your visitors a little insite or heads up on what your site has to offer.

W e have tested the code in IE5.5, IE6, Netscape4.08 and Netscape7.0. This script worked well in all platforms with the exception of Netscape7.0 where the following variation was observed.

1)    The only variation that does not effect the operation of this script is that the "Skip Intro" link is not positioned at the bottom right corner of the page.
1a)   The "Skip Intro" link is positioned in the upper right corner of the page.

D epending on your knowledge of HTML and java scripts, this is an easy one step copy and paste as a complete HTML document. If you would like to see how this effect works, see the Demo link below and it will be redirected right back here. This is what it will look like on your site, with your modifications to look the way you want it to.
[ Demo ]

Below are the sections that you can make your reconfigurations within this script.

//Specify the paths of the images to be used in the splash screen, if any.
//If none, empty out array (ie: preloadimages=new Array())
var preloadimages=new Array
("Path To Image You Want To Preload","Path To Image You Want To Preload")
//configure delay in miliseconds between each message (default: 2 seconds)
var intervals=2000
//configure destination URL
var targetdestination="Path To Page You Want To AutoJump To"

//configure messages to be displayed
//If message contains apostrophe('), backslash them (ie: "I\'m fine")

var splashmessage=new Array()
var openingtags='<font face="Arial" size="4">'
splashmessage[0]='Your Message Here'
splashmessage[1]='Your Message Here'
splashmessage[2]='Your Message Here'
splashmessage[3]='Your Message Here'
splashmessage[4]='Your Message Here'
splashmessage[5]='Your Message Here'
var closingtags='</font>'

//Do not edit below this line (besides HTML code at the very bottom)

I f you want to either add or remove messages, just follow the sequence and be sure all messages are before the var closingtags=</font>'

T o clarify the below line of script when setting the time delay between messages.
