Hi,

Im looking for the basic structure of how to make a piece of code (ideally a lightbox window with a flash file being displayed) but for now maybe a popup window, to be displayed at 12:00pm each day automatically.

Can anyone help me with this task? Give me a pointer in the right direction ? (I dont know too much Javascript though)..

Any help will be much appreciated..

Thanks alot,
Chris

hi,

can u please explain me why you use this piece of code:

if(timerid)	{	
          clearTimeout(timerid);
}

Thanks

oops, this is suppose to be at line 12: timerid = 0;
it keeps the id from getting so large since I assume the page is going to be up for a while.

and this doesn't actually need to be there: clearTimeout(timerid);
I actually pulled script from a different function that had other functions calling it as well and I accidentally left it in there, it serves no purpose here.

thx,
