Hey,

I need to find a way, to make certain code appear at night, and the code dissappear in the day.

In other words.
picture.jpg only appears on my website at night time.

any suggestions?

You'll need to use javascript time/date functions. This isn't precisely the code you would use, but this demonstrates how the function retrieves time and date from the viewer's internal clock.

Code: [ Select ]
<b>Todays Date: </b><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
Stamp = new Date();
document.write('' + (Stamp.getMonth() + 1) +"/"+Stamp.getDate()+ "/"+Stamp.getYear() + ' <br> ');
var Hours;
var Mins;
var Time;
Hours = Stamp.getHours();
if (Hours >= 12) {
Time = " P.M.";
}
else {
Time = " A.M.";
}

if (Hours > 12) {
Hours -= 12;
}

if (Hours == 0) {
Hours = 12;
}

Mins = Stamp.getMinutes();

if (Mins < 10) {
Mins = "0" + Mins;
}

document.write('<B>Todays Time:</b> ' + Hours + ":" + Mins + Time + '');

//-->
</SCRIPT>
  1. <b>Todays Date: </b><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  2. <!--
  3. Stamp = new Date();
  4. document.write('' + (Stamp.getMonth() + 1) +"/"+Stamp.getDate()+ "/"+Stamp.getYear() + ' <br> ');
  5. var Hours;
  6. var Mins;
  7. var Time;
  8. Hours = Stamp.getHours();
  9. if (Hours >= 12) {
  10. Time = " P.M.";
  11. }
  12. else {
  13. Time = " A.M.";
  14. }
  16. if (Hours > 12) {
  17. Hours -= 12;
  18. }
  20. if (Hours == 0) {
  21. Hours = 12;
  22. }
  24. Mins = Stamp.getMinutes();
  26. if (Mins < 10) {
  27. Mins = "0" + Mins;
  28. }
  30. document.write('<B>Todays Time:</b> ' + Hours + ":" + Mins + Time + '');
  32. //-->
  33. </SCRIPT>


You would have to alter it, by adding functions to test for the start and stop times you want your image displayed. I'm sure this would work, but I have to step out for most of the day and don't have the time to sit down and write it all out. That should at least get you started in the right direction.

alright, that might work, but what if the image itself is javascript?


would I still be able to input it?

all that code does (i think) is spit out the date and time. Nothing more, nothing less. You would need to do some sever modification.

I personally woud do it using PHP, for several reasons, not the least of which is that it stops websmart visitors from using the View Source command and bypassing you protection. If you have access to PHP, i'll look into it for you.
