[SOLVED] Change text every 60 seconds.

[lynxus]

Hi guys,

Ive got a script on my page that when a user loads the page it places a random tip of the day.

 

My question is:

How can i get this to just update every 60 seconds?

I sould assume it would be something needed to call the javascript every 60 seconds.

and then something like

document.totd.value = totd.js ?

Or something like that?

 

Could someone help please. Im crap with javascript lol.

 

Thanks

Graham

 

 

<div id="totd"><script src="totd.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>

 

// JavaScript Document


var quotes = new Array;

quotes.push("Click Go Online to start recieving messages from your users.");

quotes.push("Click My Website Code to see any new buttons for your site.");

quotes.push("Keep missing chat requests? Try the SMS / TXT message alert option.");

quotes.push("Add your Status Icon to more that one page on your site to increase your chances of a support request.");

quotes.push("Responding to your visitors chat requests fast will increase your chances of a sale.");

quotes.push("Click Go Online to start recieving messages from your users");

document.write(quotes[(Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length))]);

"document.totd.value = totd.js"

 

is your phrase inside any tags? value would work if you had it within a text input or something... otherwise you could put it inside of a div, with an id (like totd):

 

<div id="totd">This is a tip</div>

 

which would allow you to use innerHTML:

 

document.getElementById('totd').innerHTML = quotes[(Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length))];
