Catches all clicks on ads and writes a cookie on the visitor's computer. Until the cookie expires, no ads are shown. Cool!

The advertiser's URL is the link to the ad. You need to submit your question to the [a href="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3"]JavaScript Forum[/a] for additional help.
