This script is a little hard to explain, but it will be one you'll want. Let's say you want to denote that a link, or image, or whatever, is new. Create a little image called "new.gif". Place the script I'll give you later in the HEAD commands. Then, when you want to use the image, use this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE= "JavaScript">
<!--
isnew(7,"02/19/97")
//-->
</SCRIPT>
TEXT THAT WILL GO TO THE RIGHT OF THE IMAGE
This little script will place the new.gif image wherever you put it on your document. Now, notice the 3rd line: (7,"02/19/97").
The first number is the number of days the new.gif image will remain posted. The date then is the date you posted the new item. This script will display the new image for seven days from 2/29/97. Then it will go away. Clever.
Use the script up above and this one: Grab the Script
Please note: This script is being offered in simple text format. When you click to Grab the Script, the text should display. Internet Explorer and AOL users may get a blank page or the script may run and produce the effect. If this happens, choose SAVE AS from the FILE menu and save the blank or compiled page.
