Hi all,

I’m creating a banner navigation with quick animation and I just want to PLAY the animation when user visit the page for a first time OR only in homepage (index page). Basically when visitor go to another pages, they won’t see the “banner” animation over & over again. How to accomplish this ?

Thanks in advance !!
