Lincoln Stein has a nice example of cookies which he calls "Animal

I recently used javascript to set a cookie: you load the page and it
sets a cookie and then starts to countdown 30 seconds and then pops-
up a window, but it won't pop-up the window if you have the cookie. I
found a great resource for javascript:

questions based on what I enter (better than askjeeves which was
really bogus). You click on the question and the page answers it.
