Hello Swykpisz,

Use the following HTML page:

---

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Sample: Your Daily Link</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Sample: Your Daily Link</h1>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

var linkList = new Array();
var i = 1;
var todaysLink = "";
var linkHtml = "";
var dateNow = new Date();
var dayOfMonth = dateNow.getDate();

linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.org";
linkList[i++] = "http://example.net";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";
linkList[i++] = "http://www.example.com";

todaysLink = linkList[dayOfMonth];
linkHtml += "<a href='" + todaysLink + "'>Today's link is "
linkHtml += todaysLink + "</a> ";
document.write(linkHtml);

// --></script>

</body>
</html>

This client-side JavaScript displays a different link for each day of
the month. You can test the effect by setting your calendar to a
different day and refreshing the page. Now all that is left for you to
do is to enter the 31 different links (just replace the part above
that reads e.g. "http://www.example.com").


Hope this helps!

Will this work with inline frames? If so how?

Hello Swykpisz,

Yes, it would work with inline frames as well. Since an inline frame
is just a way of including a page, you could also execute same
JavaScript above within this framed page.

For example, name above file "day_link.html". Then save below source
as "index.html":

---

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> 
<head>
    <title>Sample Page</title> 
</head> 
<body>
 
<iframe src="day_link.html" title="Link of the Day" width="300"
height="200">
    <a href="day_link.html">Link of the Day</a>
</iframe>

</body> 
</html>

Hope it helps!
