I already have a random joke thing on the page.

var firstDay = 8
var joday = new Array("my jokes","went here","like this");

var dadate = new Date();
var jokeIdx = dadate.getDay() - firstDay;
// etc for month and year
// check if jokeIdx in bounds, ie: not indexing too far into joday
var joke = joday[jokeIdx];

Alternatively, why not just randomly bring up a joke? http://www.irt.org has info on writing JavaScript.

srry if i didn't explain it 2 well... here's whats going on: The script only adds one to the variable jokday if the viewers computer is on at midnight .... problem 2 is if the viewer restarts his/her computer then jokday is reset to 0

I agree with Suzanne.

The script appears ok, I don't understand how you've come to the conclusions you've made. What exactly happens when you use the script?

i am serving the files off of a server. Unfortunately I am pretty new to web site design and know nothign about sever-side programming or how i'd use a cookie to fix this.

Your home computer is your server?

This seems like the sort of thing you'd want to use a) cookies and b) server-side programming for.
