Hello, I am trying to call on javascript to insert a url address into another page which changes daily. Here is what I have connected by a external .js link.

arr = new Array(
["http://www.website.com/test.html"],
["http://www.mooonbaby.com/test2.php"]

now = new Date()
nowDate = now.getDate()

function changeurl(){

if(nowDate > arr.length) { return; }

document.getElementById("url").href = arr[nowDate-1][0];
}

___________________________________________________________
And this goes in the body.

<p style="margin-left: 0px;"><BODY onload="changeurl();">

<a href="#"><id="url"></a></p>

Can anyone see why it doesn't work? Is it because the href usually deals with links only and images? Thanks!! Jen

Change this:
<a href="#"><id="url"></a>

to this:
<a href="#" id="url"></a>

And after this line:
document.getElementById("url").href = arr[nowDate-1][0];

add this:
document.getElementById("url").appendChild(document.createTextNode(arr[nowDate-1][0]));

Was able to test it faster than I thought. It works great phper!!! But not for what I needed. But I may need that someday anyway thank you very much. But what I was looking for was rotating an actual url and inserting that into another page, not a link. Don't write anything for rotating urls with an Iframe though, I already have one of those. Was looking to see if there was a way javascript could insert the url without using an iframe. If you think of a way let me know, otherwise don't sweat it and thanks again. Jen-
