    Hello, I found a link script I like but I would like the link to show up as a link instead of an http address. The javascript rotates the link http: address daily. How can I make it look like a link like this web page name

    instead of this: http://www.google.com?

    Heres the all the code. For web page

    <BODY onload="changing();"><a href="#" id="url"></a>

    For external.js
    arr = new Array(
    ["http://www.google.com/"],
    ["http://www.google.com/"]// no comma at the end of last index
    );

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

    function changing(){

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


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

    Please let me know, thank you very much, Jen :rolleyes:

    Thanks alot, it didn't work. I put your link inside the brackets and quotation marks like this with no luck.

    ["<a href='http://www.google.com'>LinkName</a>"],

    All it did was put all of it on the page instead of just "LinkName."

    Get rid of brackets. so it would be....

    just <a href="http://..... etc.

    Try that.

    Hi,

    Try this for the whole script.

    
<script type='text/javascript'>
arr = new Array(
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"]);

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

function changing(){

if (nowDate*2 > arr.length) 
	return;

document.getElementById("url").href = arr[nowDate*2-1][0];
document.getElementById("url").appendChild(document.createTextNode(arr[nowDate*2-2][0]));
}
</script>

<BODY onload="changing();">

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

</body>
    Code (markup):
    The script changes the urls everyday, so you need to have as many lines of:
    ["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
    Code (markup):
    as there are days in a month.

    Just change the 
    ["Go to Google"],["http://www.google.com"],
    Code (markup):
    lines to different values to have different urls appear.

    Cheers.
