Splash Screen (Welcome message in a sort of rectangular box), with a close button

Hi,

I have seen such Splash Screen (Welcome message in a sort of rectangular box), with a close button, on so many web sites.

Any suggestion how I can do one such?

Thanks

I was experimenting with this myself last week.

What I did was create a simple control application with just some read-only text fields etc. Have that as the initial application and then use sc_redir on the onvalidate event to redirect to the login screen (or main application if not using security).

What I really wanted though was a “true” splash screen - i.e. no buttons at all; it simply should displayed for 5 or 10 seconds and then disappeared to the real initial app. I’m trying to find a point where I can execute a php “sleep” and then do the redir…

You should be able to do that using a blank application with a button on it that redirects. In fact you should even be able to put some javascript on it that does a redirect after x seconds.
