What do you mean ... Do you want to display a random quote?

How about banners/ images

Can flash do this?

I want it the random qoute/ image to be a link to.

Can I use a database to do it, instead of having the qoutes all one page.

Edit: Hot scripts seem to have the database one, but which one should I use

I basically need say a picture with customer testimonials revolving.

Also can I have some thing that changes quotes while its on the page. I can use flash to do that right?

Yes, you may use flash, PHP, Javascript, and a number of other languages that i can't think of at the moment.

I think Flash should be the answer!

I don't. Don't use Flash unless you have to.

PHP (with MySQL ) is an option, but Javascript is simpler. You don't have to create a database, query's etc. Your host has to support PHP and Javascript works always (except when it's turned off by the user, but almost no one does that.)

I should use Javascript if I were you.

I agree, flash only slows down your computer.

Ooops! Forgot to give the credits...

The above codes were provided free of use by Evrsoft First Page 2006. That's where I copied them from. And you know what? They took those codes from http://www.dynamicdrive.com and http://www.javascriptkit.com

May 27th, 2007, 10:12 pm

OK, So what does code 1 do, What does code 2 do and what does code 3 do?

Oh right, they all do the same thing.

Is there a way for Javascript to change images.

[Fabinator]

May 28th, 2007, 3:14 am

javascript can swap images. Randomly display an image and such.

But it can't create them. Therefore you'll need PHP. gd-lip of php. Check out http://www.php.net/gd for all image functions

May 28th, 2007, 10:25 pm

I mean't as in if I uploaded the images, could javascript swap the images around.

You say it can't create them, what do you mean as in create. I thought you make the images using photoshop or something.

Yes, they do the same thing. I just gave you different options on doing the same things. Didn't I?

There is a way to swap images and show them one at a time changing them at each refresh of the page.

http://javascript.internet.com/miscella ... eload.html - Probably something you didn't want, but... Don't know maybe you can change it to something you did want.

May 31st, 2007, 12:28 am

OK

Theres two different kind of image swap that I want.

One: When ever someone refreshes the page and the image changes.

Two: The Someone doesn't refresh the page and the image swaps after a few seconds.
