Daily IFrame II Question

Script - Daily IFrame II
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...dowiframe2.htm

I know that it says that this may be overlooked but I would really appreciate some help. I currently use this script and it is GREAT. The only challenge that I have is that there is a limit to the number of days. Is there a version of it somewhere that will scroll through daily without limiting the number of items to be scrolled through? Or is this something that can be easily changed?

I'm basically looking for it to scroll through 50 items and then start over again.

Thank you,
Ashley

Well, the script is based on the days, and obviously there aren't more than 31 days in a month (that I know of ). The code could be edited to allow more items, but if you still want it daily, it will be a little bit harder. I'll see what I can do to help, though.

Hi AshleyG:
It's certainly possible, though once you go beyond the default 31 days (for 1 month), it's not longer "trivial" to get this to work. Unfortunately due to time constraint, I can only revisit this thread if I find the time.

Alrighty, here's what I have. This isn't 100% tested mind you, as I didn't have 50 sites nor the amount of time it would take to FULLY test it. But, on the tests that were run, it worked beautifully.

Basically, instead of going by the day of the month, this uses the day of the year, essentially giving you a maximum of 365 different URLs you could use (366 on leap years, which, yes, it does check). And, it will loop itself continually, so after 50 items are done, it starts right back at number one.
It will work for any amount of items, so if that may change, simply put that number in where marked ('var itemNum='). Just make sure you have AT LEAST that number of URLs as well. Hopes it works for ya, Cheers.

Thank you, Minos! I appreciate your help. I will test it on my site and post to everyone if it works!

Much gratitude,
Ashley
