I'm trying to work out how to have a piece of text changing depending on the
day. What I'd like to do is be able to automatically bring up a different
bit of text depending on what the date is. Does anybody know how to go about
helping me?

The specifics are that on www.anglican-mainstream.net/index2.htm I want to
bring up a small line saying "Today the Church celebrates "X") and X is
drawn from a database with dates and festival dates.

I'm fairly new to all this and self-taught, picking things up as I go.

Thanks,

Peter Ould

Basically, you need to visit the various sites and look at the script to see
which one you feel most comfortable working with, since it will be you that
has to insert into your page and then maintain it with your personalize
content.

The other thing to look for is script that will work in both IE and NS
browsers.

Here is one to look at:
