New display on each visit

[raspberryh]

Hey Pierrot,
Well I ran your script and I went to the Javascript Console in Firefox and there was an error on line like 79 or somewhere around there - it seems like it's just a typo - there was just a line break where there shouldn't have been one -

Change this:

	function random_imglink(){ v
	ar myimages=new Array()

to this:

	function random_imglink(){ 
	var myimages=new Array()

I fixed it and ran the new code and it worked perfectly. File is attached.
Let me know if that helps!

Hello,
Sorry I didn't have chance to check and relpy earlier...
Raspberryh you are so sweet! Merci, merci, merci!
It's working now! please just one more question- if I don't want to include link redirect (no click and go to onther page) can i delete without problem this:

//specify corresponding links below
var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]="http://www.wsabstract.com"
imagelinks[2]="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"
imagelinks[3]="http://www.java-scripts.net"
and also if I have images in folder can I put:
myimages[1]="pictures/img1.gif"
thank you very much :-)

Hi Pierrot,

if I don't want to include link redirect (no click and go to onther page) can i delete without problem this:

//specify corresponding links below
var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]="http://www.wsabstract.com"
imagelinks[2]="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"
imagelinks[3]="http://www.java-scripts.net"

Yes, you can delete the part that you specified, but you'll also want to rewrite the html output. You need to remove the <a> tag. So, change this:

document.write('<a href='+'"'+imagelinks[ry]+'"'+'><img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" border=0></a>' + captions[ry])

to this:

document.write('<img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" border=0>' + captions[ry])

and also if I have images in folder can I put:
myimages[1]="pictures/img1.gif"

Yes you definitely can.

thank you very much

No prob! Glad I could help

Hi Raspberryh,

Sorry to troubling you again. I cannot find a way myself.
I would like to have this picture displayed in the first line (top line), then in the second line (just below the picture) 3-4words with its explanation, and the third line two words again (name of the author).
Could you help me please to do it?
Thank you so much

Hey Pierrot,
Sounds like you need to insert some line breaks (for the easiest way to do it).
Well you can do it either of two ways...

The quick & dirty way to do it would be to declare your captions like this:

captions[1] = "<br>explanation goes here<br>author goes here";

So, just put the line breaks right into your captions.

The better way to do it would be to declare a separate array for your author, and keep the formatting out of the variables. That way, if you need to change the formatting, you only have to change it in one place. You would do that like this:

  var captions = new Array(); // (you can just keep this for your 'explanation')
  captions[1] = "caption for image 1 goes here";
  captions[2] = "caption for image 2 goes here";
  captions[3] = "caption for image 3 goes here";

  var authors = new Array()
  authors[1] = "author for image 1 goes here";
  authors[2] = "author for image 2 goes here";
  authors[3] = "author for image 3 goes here";

Then change your write statement to:

document.write('<img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" border=0><br>' + captions[ry] + '<br>' + authors[ry])

Hope that helped...

Hey Raspberryh,
Yes that works very good! :-)
Few lines of code and the display looks completely different.
Thank you very much for helping.

Hey no prob

[pierrot]

Hello Raspberryh
Could I ask you one more question: how to make this sample working?
I would like to display two different colours and two different sizes as billow. Would you have any idea how to do that?
Thanks a lot.
