Hello all. I found some JavaScript for displaying a rotating banner on a webpage. It works perfectly with one exception, it goes in sequential order of the sequence I have the images set up in the JavaScript. I was hoping to find something that would randomize it. If I have 20 or so logos to scroll through, people at the bottom of the list won’t be seen. My code is below:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var howOften = 5; //number often in seconds to rotate
var current = 0; //start the counter at 0
var ns6 = document.getElementById&&!document.all; //detect netscape 6
// place your images, text, etc in the array elements here
var items = new Array();
items[0]="<a href='sponsor.php' ><img alt='Sponsorship' src=' http://www.hyhpawardshow.com/images/1.png' height='200' width='200' border='0' /></a>"; //a linked image
items[1]="<a href='https://scarehollow.wixsite.com/haunt' ><img alt='Scare Hollow' src=' http://www.hyhpawardshow.com/images/2.jpg' height='200' width='200' border='0' /></a>";
items[2]="<a href='http://www.samhaynes.moonfruit.com/' ><img alt='Sam Haynes' src=' http://www.hyhpawardshow.com/images/3.jpg' height='200' width='200' border='0' /></a>";
function rotater() {
document.getElementById("placeholder").innerHTML = items[current];
current = (current==items.length-1) ? 0 : current + 1;
setTimeout("rotater()",howOften*1000);
}
function rotater() {
if(document.layers) {
document.placeholderlayer.document.write(items[current]);
document.placeholderlayer.document.close();
}
if(ns6)document.getElementById("placeholderdiv").innerHTML=items[current]
if(document.all)
placeholderdiv.innerHTML=items[current];
current = (current==items.length-1) ? 0 : current + 1; //increment or reset
setTimeout("rotater()",howOften*1000);
}
window.onload=rotater;
//-->
</script>
I realize this code may be a bit out of date, but I’m hoping to alter it is a simple task rather than having to find different code and try to make it work. My assumption is this just needs to be changed to random:
`current = (current==items.length-1) ? 0 : current + 1;`
Can anyone assist on how to fix this script or point me in a new direction?
Thanks
