is there a script to make a visitor visit a sponsor before going on?

[JoeM6]

I have a webpage, with many games. I would like it so the visitor has to visit my sponsor before being able to go to the page with the games on it, Is there a script for that? Please help me

I don't know of a script to do that. I guess you might serve your page from a piece of CGI and, using the the 'HTTP_REFERER' var, check to see if the user is coming from one of your sponsors. If they are not, then give them a page that tells them to visit a sponsor. If they are coming from a sponsor, let get to the games. Note that the HTTP_REFERER is not dependably populated. You could play around with a little to see if it would do what you need.

'just my humble opinion .... but, I would be out there quick after getting rail roaded like that.

Good Luck.

As long as your forcing people to visit your sponsors, why not just save them the trouble & force the sponsor on your visitors. Use the window.open function from JavaScript to throw all of your sponsors sites out at them as the page loads. >;()

Or, screw the sponsors and create a Frameset with dimensions 0%, 100%. Have the sponsors page load in the hidden frame. They'll NEVER KNOW!!! hehehe
