Hello, i need some helpl writing a simple javascript i want it to display an alert this is what i have got so far:

<script language="javascript">
alert("You have new private messages!");
</script>

It works fine but i want it to only alert once eg. by setting a cookie but i have no idea how to set cookies in javascript.

Thanks, Mart.

instead of a cookie, I would just attach it to a dingy or pic that displays "new message".  use the onload function to trigger the function the one time a new messgae indicated.
