Load animation only once per website visit

Hi there,

aside of using Cookies to detect a users first visit you can use localStorage to store a variable for the visited status and then use that as a condition to run your code. Heres an example of that.

Hi David,

thanks for the input. I couldn´t get it run and tried the function with an alert. that works well – but only one time. Is it possible to create a function that runs the code once per website visit..if you click the start page a second, third,...time, no code will run. But if you close the window and open a new one...the code will run once again?

Thanks!

Probably want to swap localStorage for sessionStorage see here:

sessionStorage differs in that the variable is only stored for the current tab whilst it is open. Once closed sessionStorage gets cleaned.

Perfect – Thank you very much!!!

You're welcome
