Monthly changes

[David Allio]

For the past six months, I have been using a javascript file (kauai.js) to update a new photo daily on my Kauai Hawaii: A Daily Scenic Photographic Panorama web page. The URL is: http://www.davidallio.com/kauai/kauai-pn.htm

Now, I would like to change the javascript file on a monthly basis, so that in January the javascript file used would be kauaijan.js and in February it would go to kauaifeb.js, and so forth for all 12 months. Is there a way to automate this process with javascript, if so, how? Otherwise, am I looking at something in CGI or another language?

Suggestions, please...

do your files have to be named that way? it would be easier if they were kauai0.js, kauai1.js, etc

not impossible either way, though...

well, assuming that you can't rename the files, you can put this in the head of your html, where you are loading your other scripts...

<script type = "text/javascript">
var month=new Date().getMonth()
months=["jan","feb","mar","apr","may","jun","jul","aug","sep","oct","nov","dec"]
document.write(
      '<sc' + 'ript type="text/javascript" '
    + ' src="kauai' + months[month] + '.js">'
    + '</sc' + 'ript>');
</script>

Thank you... I had not thought about adding the '<sc' + 'rpit>' to the filename... Many Mahalo...
