daily comic on website

[krikke]

I would like to automatically put a daily comic from another website on my website. (copyright is not a problem)
The name of the comic is the number of the month and the number of the day, e.g. 0305.jpg for today.
Can I make a script that updates the comic automatically every day on my website?
Thanks.

ldDate   = new Date();
lcPrefix="[URL unfurl="true"]http://some_site/";[/URL]
lcExtension=".jpg";
lcMonth = ldDate.getMonth()+1;
lcDay   = ldDate.getDay()+1;
lcDay   ="0"+lcDay
if (lcMonth<=9){lcMonth="0"+lcMonth}
lcLink=lcPrefix+lcMonth+lcDay+lcExtension;
document.write('<img src="'+lcLink+'">')

Good luck!

Juris had just a few things off, so I modified his code and bolded the changes, also made the code a few lines shorter:

ldDate = new Date();
lcPrefix="

http://some_site/";

lcExtension=".jpg";
lcDay = (ldDate.getDate() < 10) ? "0"+ldDate.getDate() : ldDate.getDate();
lcMonth = (ldDate.getMonth()+1 < 10) ? "0"+(ldDate.getMonth()+1) : ldDate.getMonth()+1
lcLink=lcPrefix+lcMonth+lcDay+lcExtension;
document.write('<img src="'+lcLink+'">')
