This is great! I was looking for something like this.
And thanks for putting up your example template, that really helped me seal the deal. If only everyone was this thorough with their templates.

Ok, gedsta......in your "header" template....
BELOW:

<td align="$stylevar[right]">

ADD this code:

<!-- Banner Rotator by Redline -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!-- 
function banner() { 
}; 
banner = new banner(); 
number = 0; 
// bannerArray 
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>" 
banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT_URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER_URL' border='1'></a>"
increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 
document.write(banner[increment]); 
//--></SCRIPT>
<!-- End Banner Rotator by Redline -->

If that does not work, let me know.

Thank you, and no, I don't believe IFrame can be added into this. I've tried before

No, sorry. I've tried everything as far as using it with adsense and I've had no luck. I think the only one that works well with adsense to my knowledge is phpadsnew
