multiple java scripts on one page?

[szukteam]

I'm very new to java- as a matter of fact, I'd say that I know nothing about it....except for how to cut and paste free java script to my pages.

I have the need for three different slide shows on my index page. Two of them are working- and the third one won't show up at all. I tried to do it as an "includes" page- nothing worked, only an error message.

I finally have all three scripts showing the pictures but one of them was not designed to have clickable links- and I don't know how to rewrite it.

So my question is: Is there a limit to how many scripts you can have on a page? What causes them to conflict? Is there a way to do them as includes?

any advice would be appreciated. I want to learn but don't know where to start.

Here's the script that I'd like to be able to make as links:
<td>&nbsp;<script language="javascript">

/*
Random image slideshow- By Tyler Clarke ([e-mail])

*/

var delay=5000 //set delay in miliseconds
var curindex=0

var randomimages=new Array()

randomimages[0]="/banners/urbanabannersm.jpg"
randomimages[1]="/banners/diamondwbanner2.jpg"
randomimages[2]="/banners/classicbanner.jpg"
randomimages[3]="/banners/oxygenbanner.jpg"


var preload=new Array()

for (n=0;n<randomimages.length;n++)
{
preload[n]=new Image()
preload[n].src=randomimages[n]
}

document.write('<img name="defaultimage" src="'+randomimages[Math.floor(Math.random()*(randomimages.length))]+'">')

function rotateimage()
{

if (curindex==(tempindex=Math.floor(Math.random()*(ra ndomimages.length)))){
curindex=curindex==0? 1 : curindex-1
}
else
curindex=tempindex

document.images.defaultimage.src=randomimages[curindex]
}

setInterval("rotateimage()",delay)

</script>

There is no limit to how many scripts you can have on one page. In fact, the page treats all javascript on the page as a single script. So there can be conflicts between scripts if they use the same variable / function names etc. I'm not sure if those type of conflicts would still exist if the javascript was in seperate .js files.

You can use <script language="javascript"></script> as many times as you want.

To make in images clickable links in HTML, you would write:

[HTML]
<a href="file to link to" alt="Some text to display if mouse hovers over image"><img src="path to image to display" border="0"></a>
[/HTML]

So to rewrite your code to make images clickable, look for this line:

[HTML]
document.write('<img name="defaultimage" src="'+randomimages[Math.floor(Math.random()*(randomimages.length))]+'">')
[/HTML]

and change it to something like below:

[HTML]
document.write('<a href="file you want"><img name="defaultimage" border="0" src="'+randomimages[Math.floor(Math.random()*(randomimages.length))]+'"></a>')
[/HTML]
