Hi!

I was wondering if anyone could direct me as how to keep on changing a banner in the same position.

I have specific spots in my screen (3) where the banners are supposed to reside. I want the banners to be loaded up in those spots and then keep on switching after a certain period of time.

So far, I have a query that returns a randomized list of banners and only the first 3 (randomized) in the list are displayed in the 3 banner spots. I would like to know how I can continuously cycle through my query list after a certain period of time and update the banner spots.

I would really appreciate any help!

Thanks!!

Here is a link to Allaire's Developers Exchange. Do a search for banner and you'll find several custom tags that may be of use to you. Some are free and some are not. This is a good place to go in general when you are writing a new application because chances are, someelse has done something similar already.

Thanks!

I checked out the link you gave me. I am in the process of checking out some of the banner systems but I am finding that I need a very customizable one for my needs and I'm thinking that it might be more of a hassle to adopt a predefined system...

As I mentioned earlier, I have a query returning a randomized list of banners that need to be displayed. The first 3 banners in the list are outputted in the banner spots. I would like to change those banners that are already in the banner spots, with the next 3 banners in the list. Once the end of the list is reached, it should start again at the beginning (like a loop). I would like this change to be automatic (after a specified interval basically).

So I would still appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on how to rotate the banners after a specified time.

Thanks!
