ASP Content Rotator Component (ASP 3.0)

ASP Content Rotator Component

The ASP Content Rotator component creates a ContentRotator object that displays a different content string each time a visitor enters or refreshes a page.

A text file, called the Content Schedule File, includes the information about the content strings.

The content strings can contain HTML tags so you can display any type of content that HTML can represent: text, images, colors, or hyperlinks.

Syntax

<%
Set cr=Server.CreateObject("MSWC.ContentRotator")
%>

ASP Content Rotator Example

The following example displays a different content each time a visitor views the Web page.

First, create a text file named "textads.txt" and place it in a subfolder called "text".

"textads.txt":

%% #3
<h2>This is a great day!!</h2>

%% #3
<img src="smiley.gif">

%% #4
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools.com</a>

Notice the #number at the beginning of each content string. This number is an optional parameter that indicates the relative weight of the HTML content string. In the text file above, the Content Rotator will display the first and second content string three-tenth of the time, and the third string four-tenths of the time.

Then, create an ASP file, and insert the following code:

Example

<html>
<body>
<%
set cr=server.createobject("MSWC.ContentRotator")
response.write(cr.ChooseContent("text/textads.txt"))
%>
</body>
</html>
