Page Rotator

[benny]

I have a restaurant owner that asked me if it would be possible to have a
"daily special" page added to his site which would include seperate photos
for both a lunch and dinner special along with some text describing each
one. I guess the lunch special would go near the top of the page and the
dinner special somewhere below it.

Since the special would change everyday I think a date such as Monday
January 30th or some such date should be placed on the page to show a surfer
that the special is for that day only.

I know about the Page Based on Schedule Component in FP 2002 but need
something that will automatically change the page every 24 hours on a 7 day
rotation because the restaurant is open 7 days a week. Any ideas?

The schedule includes won't do it
- they only change if you publish or recalc after the date set

If they are preset for the week, find a JavaScript to document write the content (or redirect the page) based on the day of week
If they are not preset have him publish changes each date, or set it up as a database

I would create a daily specials pages for all the days of the week (ie
specials_mon.htm, specials_tue.htm) and then another page (specials.htm)
which woud be a javascript redirect page based on the day of the week (ie if
today is tuesday then goto specials_tue.htm. I use this as my home page
changes weekly and I preload them with what will be current. If you goto
www.lannonfire.com it will redirect you to the current weeks page (currently
http://www.lannonfire.com/default_wk4.htm). I did a google search for
javascript day week and this one looks good
