Always looking for the easiest way to accomplish things!
I need to rotate ad banners on a site... any such thing here in Coffee Cup Land?
:)

*I should add that the 4 ads run vertically down the side of the site... ideally would like all to rotate per page refresh, or at least have options.

So you mean you would like to have your images rotate randomly when the page refreshes? You can use Javascript or PHP. If you didn't want the random on refresh you could even get away with animated GIF images but they not the best quality but it's a thought.

Kitty, if I understand your question correctly your wanting to advertise and use a vertical banner, which rotates the ads. Ad Producer by Coffee Cup would work well for that. I would suggest that over scripts. :D

You know Eric I've never even seen that program. I'll have to download it and give it a spin.

Another really simple trick is to make the banner an animated .gif. CC even makes software to create them, though the apps for doing this are legion.
