Hi,

I've had a read around and can't seem to find anything that would help. I need to put some text in my sidebar that would change on a daily basis. E.g

If it's Monday, it would show "Text Monday"
If it's Tuesday, it would show "Text Tuesday"
If it's Wednesday it would show "Text Wednesday"

etc. etc.

Is this possible?

Cheers,

Ross

You could maybe use Javascript.

Something like this would display the day and date but I'm not sure how you could make that into a conditional that would display other info.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var now = new Date();
var days = new Array(
'Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
var months = new Array(
'January','February','March','April','May',
'June','July','August','September','October',
'November','December');
var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();
function fourdigits(number) {
return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;}
today = days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
date + ", " +
(fourdigits(now.getYear()));
document.write(today);
//-->
</script>
