Hi, can you recommend the best way to set up a cell of a table on a FP 2003
website so that it will display a different quote each day (rotate three
different quotes).

Thank you for your help.
 
Thanks. I tried it and it did not work. Do I need a special server to run a
Javascript? Is that the only answer to this - nothing in FP?
 
What did you try? And what didn't work?

Here's sample code here from the google search.

Yes, in order to get the page to do things, you need script or "plug
ins". The script is either run at the client (i.e., by the user's
browser when the page is displayed) or by the server when the page is
requested from the server.

No, you don't need a special server to run javascript at the client. All
browsers support Javascript. Of course, scritp will nor run if the user
disables scripting.

by the way: "w/o quotes" means "without quotes."
And FP is an editor to create web pages. The browsers is what displays
pages, and the server is what serves the pages.

Javascript is "client" side. Therefore you need javascript enabled in your
browser; also, make sure your firewall is not blocking
scripting/javascript/active content.
 
I copied the script cited above, my browser is java enabled. When I copy it
into the FP table I don't see anything when I preview it in the browser. Is
there a step you have to do before you paste the script into your page?
Obviously this is the first time I have done this - everything I see online
just says "just paste into your page". Thanks again.
