Random Affiliate?

[Michael]

You know the Random Affiliate thing on the Portal? Well, would I be able to do that on my News/Info Table thing? Or is it something you can onyl do on a sort of webpage?

This is a question for LHW i think.

[lhw]

The answer to that would be No. To do that, you'd have to run a JavaScript, and you can't do that in the News Fader. I say this, because I just tested it.

I did my test with this simple JS script:

<script language="JavaScript">var TEST="1";if(TEST="1"){document.write('<img src="home.comcast.net/~cfot/images/cfot_affiliate_01.jpg" border="0"');}</script>

While this script worked when placed in my Main Header, it did NOT work while placed in the News Fader.

However, you COULD do an "Affiliate of The Week" and showcase one using the [img][/img] codes. While not entirely random, doing it weekly will mean less updating on your behalf.

I'm talking about that.... sorry about the misunderstanding,.... that's what I call my news box... lol... ;D

Like in the space beneath "Harbor Leaders"? Is it possible to have it there?

[lhw]

Oh. In that case, if you had the proper script, you'd just add it to that cell. The one used in the Portal, though, isn't public. So you'd either have to write, or find, a JS that randomizes images.

EDIT: If you don't use a marquee, you can use a style/mouseover setting to keep it faded/full opacity.

I found this script that does the banner rotation thing

Is that the code I use?

[matthew]

if that's the fixed code then yeah.

don't you want to use the one i've set up?

[Michael]

I think it is.... thanks!

[matthew]

in case you missed it in the post i've already put your affiliates in the code.

[Michael]

thanks!

[lhw]

I just posted what I think is a cleaner version of this, if you're interested. It also adds the mouseover fade in/out effect.

It's right here.

[Michael]

Thanks! I'll try both of them and see which one I like best out of the two!
