Okay Roll eyes , let’s get the snickers out of the way. Yes – I am a Rookie Shocked at some of these items. However – I am trying to learn and I know when to ask for help – like now Confused .

Banner Rotation:
I have tried some of the scripts to get banners to rotate on my pages - No success yet. I am trying to learn how to do banner rotations so I can advertise and promote. Please help.

  • I am using Dreamweaver MX.
  • I have created three (3) gifs to use.
  • I have copied and pasted a couple of scripts (some in and and some just in ) and none are working.

Now how are they not working? On the simple script, which rotates the banner upon the opening of the page (which is not what I want – but I’m trying to get something to work), it shows a shadow of where the box goes and places the ALT TAG words – but no graphic. Also when you click on the box it goes to the URL indicated – but still – NO GRAPHIC BANNER.

I am not really ready for the FLASH banners yet (I would like to and need to) – but I would like to achieve something like http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ or like the little ad banners to the right -- in the “Webmaster-Forums” in the RIGHT SIDEBAR under the “Our Sponsors”.

Please help me get this right. I am in need of someone Cool who can advise, direct and answer the questions about what I may be doing wrong – until I can get it right.

Thank you for assistance and patience.

Can you give us some more detail on what kind of rotation this is? Do you want just one gif displayed and on each refresh it picks a random one? Or do you want two displayed in a random order, but no single ad is shown twice? How do you want it setup? Also, what scripting language do you have on your hosting account (php, asp, jsp)?

At the present I have 3 gifs that I want to rotate out for specials that I am running this month. I would like the banners, for this project, to be one right after the other in order. However - my next project is to take other sites and advertise them - can be random.

HOST PROVIDES:
- PHP version 4.3.11
- PERL version 5.8.7
- Apache version 1.3.34 (Unix)
- MySQL version 4.1.21-standard

I can get more info if needed.
