One way or the other, I'm designing a page that will have a reasonable amount of initial animation on the header file (not a splash screen, just the header graphic that will appear on all pages). What I would like to do is animate this once, on the initial entry of the page, but not the additional page loads.
The way I see it, there are three possible ways of doing this:
- Action script
- PHP Code w/ cookies that loads a separate file that doesn't have the initial animation.
- Some sent-from-above PHP code that can detect this sort of thing (depending on the site referral or some other crafty measure).
Let me know what you guys think about the options, or if I'm starkly looking over a simple solution. Have a good one.
