title: Show div on second visit
body: <p>I want to have the div #topmessage slide down on the users second visit to the site. Also when the user clicks the #close the message will not be shown again. I guess I have to set a cookie and count it but not sure how. I have the following cookie plugin installed together with jquery <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/files/jquery.cookie.js.txt" rel="nofollow">http://plugins.jquery.com/files/jquery.cookie.js.txt</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      jQuery(function($){ 
      $('#topmessage').delay(1000).slideDown(400);
      $("#close").click(function(){
            $("#topmessage").slideToggle(400);
          });
  
  });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;div id="topmessage"&gt;
  &lt;a href="#" class="close" id="close"&gt;Close&lt;/a&gt;
  Hi welcome back, if you have any questions please feel free to &lt;a href="/contact"&gt;contact me&lt;/a&gt;.
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>: The reason I want to do this is to push the div to users who have visited the site once and are now returning on another date.  I don’t just want to show the div the second time the site is loaded, but it has to be on another date or session as well. As far as I can see there is no way to access the creation date of a cookie?</p>
