url changing script

[apexinternet]

Greetings!

How would you write a script that would change open up a popup window, placing the popup window behind the current window and display a different url each time the page was opened from a list.

ex:

http://www.aol.com

http://www.compuserve.com

http://www.internic.net

http://www.tek-tips.com

like

I open once it shows

http://www.aol.com

someone else opens it it shows

http://www.compuserve.com

a third person opens it it shows

http://www.internic.net

fifth, tek-tips.com

and 6th would show

http://www.aol.com

again

and continue to rotate like that?

Currently I have it written in asp and javascript. The javascript for the popup window, and asp for the database or urls and such. However, I need this page to completely be an html document, hence the need to code this in javascript. In help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh okay I see. Well, just use the PERL script I posted.

 

[apexinternet]

well use server side javascript then?

Uhh... I think either you have a misunderstanding, or you have written your own script? You could use a server-side JavaScript (if your server actually supports such a thing).

The code I posted was PERL. That means, the code I posted is another language. As in, not JavaScript. Okay, we have an understanding.

this page..has more than just the rotating script...also will search engines read perl? is it precompiled? I would just add the rest of the page to the bottom somehow?

 

[UNIMENT]

PERL is not precompiled. And as for the rest of your questions, I don't know what exactly it is that you are asking.

check out

and you will see what I am talking about the index page has a banner that comes up with another clients website in it...this needs to rotate to a different company from a list every time you open the page.

I believe search engines probably read HTTP header redirects correctly.

As for adding &quot;the rest of the page to the bottom somehow&quot;, I don't quite understand what you mean. If you're asking whether you can have the script add HTML to the end of the content page, I believe so (using the SSI directive #EXEC). However, I would instead suggest using an <iframe> with the src attribute pointing to the script's location.

Thanks, Uniment..we have tested the script and plan on implementing it in the near future. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
