 Banner rotation
I'm having some troubles with adding one more spot to the banner rotation code that I've found browsing the net.

This is the general code whic works just fine:

Rotation part? (guessing)
Code:
function random_banner(){
  var i=0;
  banners = new Array();
  banners[0] = '<IMG SRC="banner0.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  banners[1] = '<IMG SRC="banner1.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  banners[2] = '<IMG SRC="banner2.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  today = new Date();
  i=today.getSeconds();
  n=banners.length;
  return banners[i-Math.round((i-1)/n)*n];
}
Display part (defenetly)
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.write(random_banner())
</SCRIPT>

Code works great (feel free to leech it ). But I don't have any clue how to add an another banner to the rotation, tried the most simple way whic didn't work.

Simple way that doesn't work
Code:
banners[3] = '<IMG SRC="banner3.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';

I need help with this so that I can add at least 8 more banners (to have a nice round number 10)

Reward:

Solver will be rewarded with lifetime Svizy.net membership (yeah, I need to promote it a little) and with his sites banner being on two different locations (included in rotation and on svizy.net).

Note: If you already have an banner at svizy.net you'll recive MyBux payment istead (your add is already automaticly included in the rotator whic will be used on another site)!

RE: Banner rotation
Try following...

Code:
function random_banner()
{
  banners = new Array();
  banners[0] = '<IMG SRC="banner0.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  banners[1] = '<IMG SRC="banner1.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  banners[2] = '<IMG SRC="banner2.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  banners[3] = '<IMG SRC="banner3.gif" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=40>';
  return banners[Math.floor(Math.random() * banners.length)];
}
If you wanna keep track of which banner got flashed how many times, then better switch to ajax + php combo...

RE: Banner rotation
I can make a banner rotation plugin with MyPS enabled for banner packages and different locations. What do you think?
