Displaying part of a table on a particular date?

[budgy]

Hiya guys I really hope you can help me out here. I have been breifed to design a page with a competition banner, only i want this banner to be visable during a particular time period. Live date for it is on a saturday and i wont be here to publish. I was hoping someone could help me out with some coding that would allow the default page to display a particular part of the table with the banner on the competition day. Here is what Ive managed to come up with

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var today = new Date();
var number = today.getDate() + 1;
if (number>20)
{
<!--document.write('<th height="81" background="images/comp_strrap.jpg" scope="row"><a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://click.dixons.co.uk/scripts/SComp/competition_d1.asp"><img[/URL] src="images/transparent.gif" width="729" height="58" border="0"></a>');

                ('<th height="81" background="images/comp_strrap.jpg" scope="row"><a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://click.dixons.co.uk/scripts/SComp/competition_d1.asp"><img[/URL] src="images/transparent.gif" width="729" height="58" border="0"></a> 
                </th>')
}
//--></script>

Any suggestion or guildence will be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks in advance

i think the client you are advertising for would much rather you handle this on the server side rather than relying on viewers enabling javascript on their local machines.

I agree with cLFlaVA on this one. This sort of thing should very much be handled server-side. Do you have any server-side scripting you can use?

Not only will client-side JS only work if the user has JS enabled, but your banner will appear or dissapear depending on their local PC clocks being correct or not.
