Welcome Box - Stay closed after exited?

[mustangguy1230]

On my site - http://performancefanatic.com - I just added a welcome box for guests using different things I've found online and I want there to be a way for users to click an "X" and have it close that box and have it stay closed for one day.

Below is the script I'm using.

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function closeBox(toClose) {document.getElementById(toClose).style.display = "none";setCookie(toClose, "closed", 1);}
function setCookie(cName, value, expiredays) {var expDate = new Date();expDate.setDate(expDate.getDate()+expiredays);document.cookie=cName + "=" + escape(value) + ";expires=" + expDate.toGMTString();}
function loadMsg(msgClass) {msg = document.getElementsByTagName("div");for (i=0; i<msg.length; i++){if(msg[i].className == msgClass) {if(document.cookie.indexOf(msg[i].id) == -1) {msg[i].style.display = "block";}}}}
window.onload=function(){loadMsg('msgbox'); }</script>

And below is the code for the welcome box itself.

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<div id="message-1" class="msgbox">
<div class="guestwarn">
<a href="#" class="close" onclick="closeBox('message-1'); return false;" title="Close This"></a>

Any help would be appreciated!

What templates are you adding the code to

[mustangguy1230]

I just added the code for the box to the header and the code for the jscript to the headinclude. Everything seems to be working except the cookie to keep it closed for a day after the user clicks the "x".
