change iframe source according to date

I'm trying to piece together a page that will load an iframe src based on what the date is. I've tried the change by day which gives me 7 choices, but even two weeks of changes would be great. by specific date would be best.

anybody doing this?

Hm,
how about:

<iframe src="iframe.html">
</iframe>

and in iframe.html you code

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
location.replace("iframe"+new Date().getDay()+".html");
</script>
</body>
</html>

then what do I title my different files?

using that way you would be relying on the client user's date which means you clients can view different page on a certain page. use the server date by using a server-side script.

"that this might depend"

make it, that this will depend

NetWize

Let's split some hairs...

it WILL depend on user date... if that matters.

you could always declare it as server side script so then it would depend on the server date.

IeuanJ,

i'm sorry but your comment was already given on one of the comments above.

dancinsully,

any luck?

IeuanJ

ah so it is, apologies, I missed it. My comment was in response to third and netwize talking about client dates.

NetWize

by the way... dancinsully, are you still "listening" to this?
