So I wanna have a rotating banner on my main page, but it's not working. I put this code inside the header:

[i]<*!-- Hide from old browsers
// Copyright © 2004 Spirit Avenue, LLC
// Created by Laif(laif[at]spiritavenue.com)

var i = 1;
banner1= new Image();
banner1.src = "/banners/definition.gif";
banner2 = new Image();
banner2.src = "banners/tzzz.gif";
banner3= new Image();
banner3.src = "/banners/jadebanner.jpg";
banner4 = new Image();
banner4.src = "banners/djabeatsbanner.gif";
banner5= new Image();
banner5.src = "/banners/resonated.jpg";
banner6 = new Image();
banner6.src = "http://img78.exs.cx/img78/862/banner38.gif";

links = new Array
links[1] = "http://neblinarecords.com"
links[2] = "http://tzarism.com"
links[3] = "http://jade-foxx.com"
links[4] = "http://djabeats.com
links[5] = "http://resonatedrecords.com"
links[6] = "http://abb-d.com"

function startTime(){

var time= new Date();
hours= time.getHours();
mins= time.getMinutes();
secs= time.getSeconds();
closeTime=hours*3600+mins*60+secs;
closeTime+=10; // How many seconds til the next rotation
Timer();

}

function Timer(){
var time= new Date();
hours= time.getHours();
mins= time.getMinutes();
secs= time.getSeconds();
curTime=hours*3600+mins*60+secs
if (curTime>=closeTime){
if (i < 6){ // The number 6 is the amount of banners that you have
i++;
document.banner.src = eval("banner" + i + ".src");
}
else{
i = 1;
document.banner.src = eval("banner" + i + ".src");
}
startTime();
}
else{
window.setTimeout("Timer()",1000)}

}

function clickLink(){
top.location = links[i]
}

function descript(){
window.status = description
}

// -->
</script*>

Then I added this to the opening body tag:

onLoad="startTime();">

Then this within the body:

<a onmouseover="descript(); return true;" onclick="clickLink(); return false;" onmouseout="window.status=''" href=""><img alt="" src="banners/definition.gif" border="0" name="banner"></a>

What happens is the first banner stays on indefinately. I tried editing locally, and editing online with the same results. The editor on cPanel deletes the stuff I add onto the opening body tag. Edited locally, the page has errors and the banner still won't switch. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong before I shoot this computer.

where did this code come from? your problem sounds like it's a coding error, and not a cpanel one. if that's the case, i can move this to the proper forum, which will probably get better results and answers to help you solve the error.

no problem. have you tried any other scripts? i use one on isthecoolest.net that does a random image for my header. it could be that the script you are using just doesn't work right. i'm going to move this to the java forum so it might get more traffic from java experts

Entropy banner simply displays a random banner. It does not "rotate" through them, unless something has changed since I used it back in the day...

It seems to rotate through mine here as this is what I used!
