Whats it called

[atomicstomp]

Whats it called when you have banners or headers that appear at random? This is a example: I visit the same site all the time and every time I get a different banner but if I stay for a while on the same page I get the same banner (image) when I refresh it changes?

I think its just some html script that loads a random file form a folder.

[ben-the-slacker]

You mean like those link advertisement things? Wasn't there a service a long time ago like that called LinkAdvantage or something?

[atomicstomp]

Where would one find script like that?

[ben-the-slacker]

I dunno. Why would you want advertiement on your webpage? I think the way LinkAdvantage did it was for you to sign up, then provide you with some kind of JavaScript that you can copy+paste into your webpage to make that thing show up. But that was a long time ago.

i would say it uses a php or perl script

I may be saying it wrong. I don't want a ad I want to have the image at the top of my page change on each new visit like this page hit refresh and you get a different image.
check it out
How do you do that?

[atomicstomp]

Do I have to use sever side scripting or can I do it in Javascript?
I have started to put the images in .html files incase I can do some sort of file call in to a table??

[atomicstomp]

I would think this would work be it is not can anyone see whats wrong?

<script language="JavaScript">

var bnrCnter = 0
function bancycle() {
bnrCntr = bnrCntr + 1
if (bnrCnter == 12) {
bnrCntr = 0
}
document.Banner.scr = banners[bnrCntr]
setTimeout("bnrcycle()",3000)
}
//-->

Can I move this to a better form for javascript?
