Detect first page load with jQuery?

Question

I need to detect the first time a page loads in jQuery so that I can perform some actions only when the page loads the first time a user navigates to that page. Similar to serve

Answer 1

You will have to use cookie to store first load information:

if (! $.cookie("cookieName")){
   // do your stuff

   // set cookie now
   $.cookie("cookieName", "firstSet", {"expires" : 7})
}

Note: Above example uses jQuery Cookie plugin.
