How to load page synchronously using jQuery

Question

Currently I am using jQuery to choose what my index page should load depending whether a cookie is set.

For example, the body tag of the index.html should load hasCookie

Answer 1

In your case, this sounds like it would really be a better idea to implement server-side if possible. In PHP it would be a simple matter of detecting if the cookie you want is set in the $_COOKIE array and outputting the correct page.
