And the solution is...
$(document).ready(function() {
initSlideboxes();
function initSlideboxes()
{
if(!document.cookie.match("slidedToday")){
var oneDay = new Date();
oneDay.setDate(oneDay.getDate()+1);
document.cookie="slidedToday=true;path=/;expires="+oneDay.toGMTString();
$('#slidebar').slideDown(1000);
setTimeout(function() {$('#slidebar').slideUp(10);}, 5000);
}
$('#slidebartrigger').click(function(){$
('#slidebar').slideToggle(); });
};
});
