HTML - User Welcome Page Viewed Only Once. How?

hello
can someone explain to me/show me some code to do the following. What i have is a site that i need a part on it to have a index.htm page only display once. so once the user views the page, it turns into a meta refresher after it is closed. I need this so once users make there board on my site, they can view a page telling them what to do, and whenever there folder is viewed again that index.htm file will be a meta refresher, and redirect to a specific file i can choose. if this cant be done in html then how can i do this in php at least? thanks guys!

I want to keep home page music playing as linked images are viewed.

When I post family photos on our site, I like to add background music. My posts consist of a home page containing a table of thumbnails, each linked to its larger image on a separate page. (You can then scroll directly from one larger image to another.)

I can EMBED music into the home page, but it stops playing when a linked page/image is opened. I get around this be inserting the table of thumbnails as an OBJECT into a separate home page that contains the music. That works; the music then continues to play as I scroll through the table's links.

But there are two problems. First, when the thumbnails table is larger than a single screen, the table develops its own vertical scroll bar, so there are now two scroll bars showing, which is confusing. Worse, the larger images from thumbnails lower in the table are no longer properly positioned when seen on their own pages; you have to scroll each one to get it back into view.

Is there a better way to keep the home page music playing as linked images are viewed?

I have a Mac Laptop with OSX 10.4, and use Netscape Composer to make my sites. (OK, I'm a dinosaur, but I fear I'm too ancient to be able to learn a different app.)

Hi, I would like to display a counter below an image which shows how many times it's been clicked and viewed. Could someone possibly help me with some code to do this.

Thanks

Hello. I am not sure if this is the correct place for this question. Please direct me if not. I am trying to set a webpage to redirect and display a different page if the first page is accessed from a mobile device (phone). Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I just need to know how to determine what it is viewed on. The redirect part I know already.

Thanks so much for all help!

I am working on a page at the moment and I am trying to figure out the best way to let the user know what page they are on. For example... if they click services... maybe the leftnav would go Bold or I could write services on the Top of the page? I was wondering if I could edit the CSS to automate this? I doubt you can do this but just in case here is my css

Code:

body {
    margin:10px;
    background-color:#f0f0f0;  
    font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size:18px;
 } 
#container {
    width:776px;
    margin:auto;
    background-image:url(../images/container-white-bg.png);
    box-shadow:#333 15px 15px 30px;
 }
#banner {
    display:block;
    width:760px;
    height:120px;
    padding:8px 8px 0 8px;
    background-color:#066;
 }
#top-nav {
    width:768px;
    height:81px;
    padding:8px 0 8px 8px;
    margin:0;
    list-style-type:none;
    background-color:#066;
 }
#top-nav li {
    float:left;
    margin-right:8px;
 }
#top-nav a,#top-nav span {
    position:relative;
    display:block;
    width:120px;
    height:81px;
 }
#top-nav span {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    background-image:url(../images/gallery-banner.png);
 }
#mcad {background-position:-8px -8px;}
#nios {background-position:-134px -8px;}
#moad {background-position:-260px -8px;}
#scad {background-position:-386px -8px;}
#clou {background-position:-512px -8px;}
#what {background-position:-638px -8px;}
#nav {
    float:left;
    width:120px;
    padding:0 8px;
    margin:0;
    list-style-type:none;
    background-color:#066;
 }
#nav li {
    margin-bottom:2px;
 }
#nav a {
    display:block;
    width:120px;
    padding:30px 0;
    font-family:arial,sans-serif;
    font-size:90%;
    font-weight:bold;
    color:#033;
    text-align:center;
    background-color:#699;
 }
#nav a:visited {
    color:#000;
 }
#nav a:hover {
    color:#fff;
 }
#content {
    float:left;
    width:610px;
    padding:25px 15px 10px 15px;
 }
#content p {
    margin:0 0 10px;
    font-size:90%;
    color:#000;
 }
#services {
    font-size:110%;
    color:#000;
 }
.text-indent {
    text-indent:20px;
 }
.padding-bottom {
    padding-bottom:16px;
 }
#footer {
    clear:both;
    line-height:30px;
    color:#000000;
    text-align:center;
    background-color:#066;
 }
