Hi Rob, great tutorial… Just a few questions.

I’m using Thesis theme, and using the close function slightly different… Infact I’m using it for an image header, but want to give the site visitor the option to close it. The image header is contained within the feature box.

In Thesis, there is there is a feature called ‘feature_box’ which I’m using to do this. But it doesnt have a ‘class’ element… Only ‘ID’ element. You said it would be faster and easier to reference that…?

How does the last function change in that case, I want to check for the id=”feature_box” and then only show the feature box.

Hi David,

It looks like on your second site you’re merely hiding the box onclick… you’re not setting a cookie or anything. The cookie is the part that makes the box stay closed.

Great tutorial! Thanks. It works great on one of my sites http://www.candlezen.com but it won’t work on another site in WordPress http://www.deesact2.com. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Rob, I’ve used this method on a few projects recently. Works great! I have now run into a minor problem in a dynamic environment though. When I close the alert box on product 1′s page, it still shows when you open product 2′s page (same page, different content from database and different URL rewritten address). Any idea how to resolve this? Does it have to do with the difference in URL? Thanks!
