Is there a way in HTML to display a given page based on the day of the week it is? For instance, if it was Thursday is would display Thursday.htm page, or On Tuesdays and Thursdays display certain page. This could be useful for weekly sales offerings, etc.

Name your pages Sunday.html, to Saturday.html

NOTE* Server must support php and in most cirumstances file must have a .php extension.

There are other ways to do this with javascript, but I am most familiar with PHP myself.

I would just print different content on the same document, probably with the aid of a [url=http://uk.php.net/switch]switch()[/url] statement.

$today = date('l');

header("Location: $today.html");
