Yes, and if my battery dies, my watch is only right twice a day.

I, for one, do not worry about other's clock settings in JS.

I would rely on the server's clock, much like you have done, if it is that important.

I also left the logic available to adjust for MST using UTC and/or the gettimezone() function. I'm not in MST so I left that as an exercise for the student.

hi again old pendent sent me a script so that my images would change?
now is there any way a radio stream could go in that script so that when our DJ'S come on air with there stream the image changes with the stream?

I'm not sure I understand the question in the first line.

Is the script you are using posted in an earlier part of this thread (which post)
or is it an entirely different portion of code?

What is in the radio stream that contains the name or ID of the DJ currently on air?
Where does the information come from to change the image display?

Do you have a link to the site to view? What does the code you are using look like?

I'm not sure I can be of further help unless you come up with some answers for my previous post.

I don't care what the identity of the DJ is. Make-up something.
What is the "entirly new code"?
Without a link, how is the WWW supposed to see it?

With so many questions unanswered, I await additional information before proceeding with further suggestions.

If you are calling this as an external file, get rid of any and all HTML code
including the  tags.

djultra · 03-21-2013, 07:28 PM

ok but will that code work

Old Pedant · 03-21-2013, 08:35 PM

Depends on what you mean by "work".

Looking at the contents of picarr[ ] and then where you do the switch (picarr[pntr]), not a single one of your case values matches any of your picarr[x] values, so your switch will *always* end up getting to the default: and so thelink and endlink will always be just "".

Which means you could throw all this code away and just do

Code:

   thelink = endlink = "";

and get the same effect.

I won't even comment any more on the fact that you are using obsolete document.write code.

Did you ever even try the code I gave you in my post #10?

I hate to say it, but I feel you are just taking code and throwing it against the wall and hoping that some of it will stick. Might do as well just showing random images at this point.

Well, I don't know where to go from here except to mostly start all over.

Let me ask you the SAME QUESTIONS I asked before:

Quote:

Let me make 100% sure I understand this:

djultra will be mondays 3pm till 6pm, GMT
dj Rabbit will be mondays 12pm till 4pm, GMT
dj john will be tuesdays 2pm till 7pm, GMT

then on weekends there will be a show together with djultra and dj rabbit
between 4pm and 6pm, GMT

At all other times the display will show autodj.

Notice carefully that I specified all times to be GMT.

Yes or no? If no, then make corrections.

While you are at it, create a file on your server named timetest.php.

Put just this code into it:

Code:

<html><body>
<script type="text/javascript">
<?php
      echo "var serverTime = new Date(" . date("Y,m,j,G,i,s") . ");";
?>
document.write( serverTime.toString() );
</script>
</body></html>

Run that page in your browser.
Copy/paste what it shows you to here.
