I created a great little javascript that loads a random banner advertising different parts of my site at the top of each of my pages.

It was pretty much the first javascript I'd every written completely by myself! I'm pretty proud of it.

If you're interested in looking at the result visit my page. If you want to use the code I can post it if you want (cause it was a bit tricky to get to work properly) and you can use it on your site if I'm credited with it and you include a link to me

Good show, Kahlan. It reminds me of that day when I figured out how to have rotating quotes on my homepage. Except I stole the code from Amber's page. So I'm clearly a not-from-scratch kind of girl, unlike you!

That is really neato script and i definatelly give ya props, ya wrote the whole thing yourself. Great work.

can you post the scipt?


because thats so cool, i wouldnt mind using it and giving you props on my site for it

The following code goes into a file called advert.js

// Advert (c) 2001 Kahlan Amnell - dragongirl@softhome.net
// Script created for Dragon Girl's Realm - http://www.lunarpages.com/dragongirl/
// This script may not be reproduced without permission

// these arrays contain the link locations and image locations for your adverts

// change the end number in this variable to the number of adverts you have -1
var pagenum = Math.round(Math.random()*10);

function get_image(imgName)

    document[imgName].src= image[pagenum];
}


The following is code that must be placed in your html file...

I've had a bit of trouble posting the required html code here, but I will try again...

The following code must go inbetween your HEAD tags:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="advert.js"></SCRIPT>


I'm having trouble getting the forum to let me add this tag, so I'll have to explain it in a different way... You need the 'onload' command included in your BODY tag and following the 'onload' command put this: ="javascript:get_image('advert')"


And create a blank image the same size as your adverts as this image will be changed with the onload command in your BODY tag. This is the only way I could get the advert to load.

This is the code for your blank image:
<A HREF="javascript:advert()"><IMG SRC="images/blank.gif" name="advert" height="56" width="244" border=0></A>

Ok... hopefully this forum will like me this time and will let me post this... If you have any problems just yell  

If you use the code the comments at the top of the js file must remain intact and I'd like to have a link back to my site or at least some form of credit on your site that I wrote the code.

Thanks   That is the code that I use on my page. I still have to find a bit of spare time to attempt Max's request... (I have 2 programming assignments due  )
