Javascript is probably the best solution for both, though you can manage server-side contrivances for both scenarios. You can get callbacks from the javascript engine on a timed basis, for the latter case. -Bill - Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 http://www.bfccomputing.com/Page: 603.442.1833 Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Worked great for one image, but when I tried to do two images on one page with different times that the image would switch (to give a semi-random effect), it fell apart and didn't work. None of the images cycled at all. -- Travis Roy ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: Website Development Question
Why not just do it with PHP or Perl, or whatever the site is coded in? Get your layout together, throw the rotational images in a dir, read the contents of the dir, pick x random images. Shouldn't require javascript or flash, or anything other than fairly straight-forward coding.

Website Development Question
I'm working on a site for somebody that does promotion work at trade shows. As a result she wants to have a number of pictures on one of the sidebars on the site. I tried a few javascript apps and some flash apps that just didn't work the way I wanted. She wants them to change randomly on the page. The only other thing I can think of is to just have it pick them randomly when the page loads. Does anybody have any other suggestions or pointers? -- Travis Roy ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
