image rotation/slideshow with links

[akalinowski]

not sure what this is called, but if you go to

http://www.nytro.com

i know its written in cf on the right hand side there are 4 images that link to 4 products and they rotate.
i want to know what that is called and a link to a tutorial would also be awesome as i want to do that for one of my sites, however i'm not a real cf programmer i just cobble together a few tags here and there
thanks in advanced!

I do not know a way of doing that in CF, I suspect there is a javascript, flash or other code. But I will admit it has been a couple of years since I worked in CF, maybe it is something new.

If it is just a static picture that you want different for each person visiting the site just use a query with a random number generator. I do that on a gallery of pictures for the header of the gallery page.
Query recordcount
RandRange(1, recordcount)

akalinowski,

It is done with javascript, look at the source of the home page document and look for the line "setTimeout("moveNewsHeadline()", 6000);" to see the html.

When searching for a tutorial look for "rotating images". You should have plenty of examples. This document is putting all four images in the same master div then using javascript to change the display property of the four sub-div nodes that contain the images.

Hope that gets you started.
