Is this possible?

I have an at home business where I can update my part of the website. I have a couple ads that change, shows a few words…waits a few seconds…then continues with the rest of the sentence. Then it stops and it doesn’t go through it again unless you exit the site and come back. Is there like a repeating tag I can do? I already know most basic html. Please help! Thank you for your time ?

@JPnycDec 19.2005 — Right, could be that too, but he says they change, so that's likely a script.

@TheBearMayDec 19.2005 — Well.... depending on how much control you have, you could place the ad in a separate page with a <meta refresh...> tag in it and place that page in an IFrame on the main page.

@Hlejmb112899authorDec 22.2005 — What would be the whole <meta refresh...> tag? I really don't think I have much control with what I do, but I could always practice with it.

@breezerDec 22.2005 — ? here is the code for a meta refresh tag I use, add the code in the head of your html file and change the content=13 ( 13 denotes the seconds till refresh) and the http part to where you want to send the user...

[CODE]<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="13;url=http://www.your.com/where to redirect to">[/CODE]

@Hlejmb112899authorDec 24.2005 — Ok, thanks. I'll try that ?

Ok, I worked with it a little. It put it on a seperate page, which I figured it was gonna do. If you want, http://www.watkinsonline.com/ey, then click on "Membership Points Program", is where the ad is that changes. When I put this into the story, it's an img src tag. I had to get approved to use the ad on the site. Then they send me the code and I just copy and paste. Anyway I can do it to that somehow and not have it give the ad it's own page?

@kelly23Dec 25.2005 — It sounds to me like you want an animated gif image that's set to [b]loop continuously[/b]. Right now it's only looping once and stopping.

@TheBearMayDec 25.2005 — If you give the gif an id and then use setInterval to refresh the src, you should get the effect you want:

<i>
</i>
&lt;img src="http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/affiliateBanners/banner1.gif" alt="WatkinsOnline.com" border="0" id="rFrsh"&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
setInterval("document.getElementById('rFrsh').src='http://www.watkinsonline.com/images/affiliateBanners/banner1.gif'",15000);&lt;/script&gt;

. . . but that would require javascript and they said they are only allowed to use html.

Success!
