Announcing a Death

The one time load thing would require a cookie set on the visitors PC. WD cannot do that

I found this article regarding the one-time visit cookie. So, if I can place the code for a jQuery plug-in script into a placeholder, any idea how to dim out the splash page in the background?

For the dimming you could have a semi-transparent rectangle on a layer above the splash page. This explains better than I could about the on-load

Can't help any with the jQuery stuff, though I'm sure someone can if still needed :-)
