I am trying to swap/rotate random flash banners using the following
Javascript code. I have 3 flash headers/banners. I can get it to
open a page with a random header using document.write( randomHeader) in
the chooseHeader() function, but the rest of the page doesn't get
displayed with that approach.
Instead, what I would like to do is comment the
document.write( randomHeader) line, and use the random reference I have
in the table cell towards the bottom of the file.
Also, the setTimeout method in the Timer() function produces an
"Object expected" error. I've tried giving it more time, to no avail.
window.setTimeo ut("Timer()",15 000);
Could someone point out corrections I need to make, or alternate
solutions (using Javascript)?
Thank you, Terry
