JAVA BANNER ROTATION

Spoiler (click to open)

Here is a simple JAVA random banner code you can paste in the HTML area of any forum.

EX:
This will show @ random.

image1.jpg @ http://www.yoursite1.com
image2.jpg @ http://www.yoursite2.com
image3.jpg @ http://www.yoursite3.com

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- 
function banner() { 
}; 
banner = new banner(); 
number = 0; 
// bannerArray 
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite2.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image2.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite3.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image3.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>" 
// keep adding items above here... 
increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 
document.write(banner[increment]); 
//-->
</script>

Useage: If you need more banners edit / add another row.

Code:

banner[number++] = "<a href='http://www.yoursite1.com' target='_blank'><img src='/banners/image1.jpg' alt='' border='0' /></a>"
