Right, I wonder if anyone could please help...

I have a webpage that I'm using to try and learn a bit about making sites/designing graphics , www.tomthorpe.co.uk, which has a flash intro as the index.htm page.

This intro is starting to annoy me in the way it runs every time I enter the site, but I still want it to be there for people who haven't visited before.

So I was thinking I could try and put a cookie on the user's computer when they go to the index.htm page. Next time they visit, this cookie would be detected, and they would be instantly directed to main.htm instead.

I haven't got a clue how to do this.

I'm using BTopenworld as my host, and it's gay, so I don't think things like php work.

Can anyone help? Do you know of any HTML scripts to do this?

You can write cookies using JavaScript. Look up the command 'setcookie'. Here's some sample scripts:
