COOLORANGEFREEZ · #1 09-03-2015, 10:13 PM

So I'm using the exact same code for rotating banners on my regular html cover page site (http://www.wartornnations.net/) and for my vBulletin 3.8.3 too (http://www.wartornnations.net/forum/).

It rotates just fine on the html site but it rotates sporadically only when I refresh the vBulletin site. What in the vBulletin code would hang up such a simple banner rotation code?

Any help is appreciated. The code follows:

HTML SITE CODE:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>www.wartornnations.net</title>
</head>
<body>
<DIV ALIGN=CENTER>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function adArray() {
 for (i=0; i*2<adArray.arguments.length; i++) {
  this[i] = new Object();
  this[i].src = adArray.arguments[i*2];
  this[i].href = adArray.arguments[i*2+1];
 }
 this.length = i;
}
function getAdNum() {
 dat = new Date();
 dat = (dat.getTime()+"").charAt(8);
 if (dat.length == 1)
  ad_num = dat%ads.length;
 else
  ad_num = 0;
 return ad_num;
}
 var ads = new adArray(
"http://d2ysc6lw6qcd4g.cloudfront.net/728x90-proudly-support.jpg",
"http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/",
"http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/banners/public/ads/VeteransCrisisLine-728x90-1-Static.gif",
"http://www.veteranscrisisline.net/"
);

var ad_num = getAdNum(); 

document.write('<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1 border=0><tr><td '
+'align="left">'
+'<A href="'+ads[ad_num].href+'"><IMG SRC="'+ads[ad_num].src+'" '
+'height="60" width="468" border="0" name="js_ad"></a></td></tr></table>');

link_num = document.links.length-1;

function rotateBanner() {
 if (document.images) {
  ad_num = (ad_num+1)%ads.length;
  document.js_ad.src = ads[ad_num].src;
  document.links[link_num].href = ads[ad_num].href;
  setTimeout("rotateBanner()",5000);
 }
}
setTimeout("rotateBanner()",5000);
