I am trying to create an "image of the day" for a site where the image will change automatically every 24 hours. Currently, I have 30 images in a folder named "petday" (no quotes) and I tried the following code (found in this forum) but I cannot get it to work. I know there is an easier way to write this but I am not real clear on how to do it. I have been reading the lessons found at W3 schools and I think I can use a switch statement? Is that correct?
<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
var now = new Date();
var dd = now.getDate();
if (dd==1)
[code]....We have a set list of shows that air each day, and on the site we have a marquee tag on the homepage that scrolls through showing each show and its broadcast time. Right now we're stuck changing this schedule each day by hand, but it's tough considering we're all college students ourselves and sometimes our own schedules simply don't allow the time.Is there a code that would allow this kind of a daily update to happen automatically?
I have a calendar coded in PHP and I would like to be able to change the month and year of the calendar using ajax. I have it fully working in PHP atm, for those who don't have Javascript on but I can't seem to make it work with ajax. Some of the code I have atm was taken from this forum, this is the link I'm using to change the month:[code]
This javascript is working satisfactorily, but having written it, I find its not quite what I want. What I really want is a different potshot to come up each day of the month. I have 31 potshots, so this should be no problem. What I would like to do is to test what day in the month it is, and then select that array element. For instance, today is wednesday Nov 9, so clicking TODAYS POTSHOT should bring up element [9]. Tomorrow, the same click sequence will bring up element [10] and so forth.
How do I find the numeric value of the day of the month? And then having found it use that as the array index value?
Ive got a small image of a power button and when pressed the inner section on the button changes to yellow, but when its pressed down Im also trying to get part of my H1 (main header logo title) to change to yellow.
Ive created a span with an id surrounding the letters of the H1 that I want to change, the id being : "power";
The javascript that I have come up with so far and works is as follows:
<img id="poweron" src="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/images/power.png" alt="Power on button" onmousedown="this.src='images/poweron.png';" onmouseup="this.src='images/power.png';"/>
I understand Im not really supposed to be using inline JS, and I know Ive got to create a function for the onmousedown event to trigger changing the H1 text, so am I under the right impression that the JS so far written is redundant and will have to be re-written so thats contained within a script placed just before the closing </body> and an external script for invoking the main function ?
I found this slide show [URL]. I got it to work on my website [URL] using Firefox, but when it is viewed in Internet Explorer it will not work. Second question, When the slide show gets to the last image, after the last image all photos disappear and it resets itself changing the format of the webpage. Any way to not have the images disappear while it loops itself or is there a code to have it stop on the last photo and not loop.
i would like to add a feature to my website where by i can just enter in say 30 different lets say quotes or sayings or something into a database and for the computer to either cycle throught them one by one ... so each day wil hav a new saying or
for it to randomly pick a saying from database every time page is loaded...
I want to have a date (Today is January 1, 2005 for ex.) at the top of a site, and I want the date to change each day. Can anyone give me a quick step by step process for accomplishing this?
Want target date to equal every day so it resets after the target date and time is hit. Optionally, it would be nice to have it reset 60 minutes after target is hit (so the FinishMessage can display) but if that's too complicated, I'd be happy to not have to manually reset the date every day.
I work at a bar in Louisiana and have been put in charge of the website.
Every day (Sun-Sat) we update the main page with who is bartending that night, along with a few other edits.
I don't come into the office until 2pm, Mon-Fri.
I would really prefer if the website could be updated 'automatically' at like, 4am or something, every day. Instead of me struggling to figure out how I'll update it on weekends.
I have to use FrontPage, so I'm limited in the types of codes I can use. But Javascript seems to work well.
What I'm thinking is have an 'updates' folder with pages labeled either by weekday (sunday.html monday.html tuesday.html, etc) or by date (072410.html, 072510.html, etc). Then the main page having some code that pulls from those files. (I'd prefer the weekday setup if I have the option)
Since the bar doesn't close until 2am most days, I'd rather not have it change over at exactly midnight, but I'm willing to work with that if it means I know it's being updated every day regularly.
What im trying to do is have a count down timer count down to the same time every day. For example, if i set it to count down to July 9th 2010 8:00pm. At 8pm i want it to pause or wait for 30 min. During that time i want it to display some text. After that 30min is up i want to reset it to count down to the same time the next day. (July 9th 2010 8:00pm) ect. I figgured maybe adding 23 1/2 hours to it but i dont even no how to reset this thing, let alone change the time it counts down to.Im not asking any one to do this for me (though i wouldnt hate it) but i really need some direction. All i really think i know is that some functions nned to be placed n the "Else - (if variable = 0) then ........." Here is the javascript im using (it works but does not reset) it also takes some information from php:
Code:
// Here�s where the Javascript starts countdown = <?=$diff?>; // Converting date difference from seconds to actual time function convert_to_time(secs)
would anyone be able to assist with a code for updating information on a daily basis? For example, I wish to update a section of our site every day that has the following timing information:
Everything is tabulated in excel and/or csv, and it also has on line pages in monthly format, but on the main index page, I just need to have a small area that provides it on a daily basis without having to go to an individual monthly page.
Actually it has been just 3 months i started using JQuery and its whole lot exciting with the things we can do using jquery. Is it possible to call a javascript function inside aaspx page created in sharepoint designer on a daily basis automatically .
I've made a gallery that has thumbnails along the top and clicking them changes the source for the full size image below, but it seems I can't change the image size.
A workaround I made up is to put the fullsize image tag inside a div tag. Clicking a thumbnail changes the innerHTML of the div to an image tag with the proper size and source.
I'm wondering if this is the way to do it or if there's a better, more proper way?
ok, I am just learning this stuff, small stupid question here...I am trying to swap images in a little ajax application, and the code handling that looks like...
document.placeholder.src =xmlHttp.responseText
/ no big deal i know, if i print xmlHttp.responseText to the screen the link is correct, but anytime I assign it as a src, i get the link+(all the page html attached on the end) and i dont know why?
I am trying to write a script to display pictures. I have the following code which works OK for displaying the next or prior picture. I know there are plenty of scripts out there for this, but I want to do it myself. So, I'll worry about the pause/play later. I dont know how to write the image using javascript. My problem that I currently want to fix is the first picture displayed is not initialized; that is, the variable I guess. I am passing the directory name, which is this first function. So, I have to click NEXT or BACK (my buttons) to display the first picture (actually the 2nd)... Code:
