hi, i'm trying to rework a script written to show a different URL each day---it was originally written for 366 days, but i've shortened it to 13 days as a test---but does not show anything on the page.

i know nothing of javascript---can anyone tell me what's wrong? thanks!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Enter the 366 urls and names below you wish to go to for each day of the year. DO NOT use commas
in the name or the script will not work.

Cou cant just use a script for a year. So use 366 days, or dont use it.

Do you want a random link script?

no thanks, i've got random, i need something to hold a URL for 24hrs, and then change to next URL for 24hrs---not change at each refresh.

but i only want maybe 60 days.

the application is for a content rotation thing i'm doing in a member's area.

try replacing the line that says:

Code:

today=numdays+tdays

with:

Code:

today=(numdays + tdays) % daylinks.length

and start the daylinks array with offset 0, like this:

Code:

daylinks[0]="http://www.cnn.com,CNN"
daylinks[1]="http://www.abcnews.com,ABCNews"
daylinks[2]="http://www.cnet.com,ABC"
daylinks[3]="http://www.geocities.com,Geocities"
daylinks[4]="http://www.lycos.com,Lycos"
daylinks[5]="http://www.infoseek.com,Infoseek"
...

this should solve your problem...

Do you want a random link script? __________________ SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
