HTML - Cache Busting And Insert Random Number Here
We have just started to using a ad tracking program on our forum that using javascript tags for advertising banners. The javascript causes the forum pages to load slower so we would like to use the html tags instead. The problem with html tags is cached pages/banners will not count towards impressions of that banner unless we code it to include a random number to bust the cache. Below is the code:
Code: <a href='http://www.hometheatershack.com/openads/www/delivery/ck.php?n=ad3d0be0&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.hometheatershack.com/openads/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=3&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=ad3d0be0' border='0' alt='' /></a> Where it reads: cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' Do we simply plug a random number in the cb=1234' Can it be the same random number for each banner code? I need some simple hillbilly term explanation of what we need to plug into that spot. Any help is appreciated! Many thanks!

I cant seem to get it to work though. I have the manifest file, I have it load in the html tag, and I think I have the .htaccess file set up correctly.

From 1-10 of my knowledge of HTML I would say I am at a 6. I have recently created a website using Dreamweaver CS5 and I would like to know how can I control cacheing on my website? I googled this but I dont know how to implement it. I would like people to cache my page so the next page they go on will load faster but I do want to update content once a week. How can I do this? thank you. Could someone please tell me how to update or change a visitor's Cache and/or Cookies when they visit my web page. My company has requested numerous updates to the site since it was launched and they are worried some of their clients won't see the changes because they visited the page before the changes were made. The site was created in Flash and is nested in one HTML page. Thanks in advance. Hello, I hired contractors to build a site for me. The site's front page has a small section for text, the developers added some placeholder text in this spot. Now that the site is completed, I changed the text as follows: I downloaded the index.php file from my webhost. I changed it to a txt file, then opened in notepad, found the placeholder text, changed it, saved the file, renamed the file back to php, then uploaded to webhost, replacing old index.php file. When I load the page the following error message appears twice at the top of the window: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/XXXX/public_html/index.php:1) in /home/XXXX/public_html/index.php on line 2 Does anyone know what this error indicates ? (I'm not a programmer) I did not save the old index.php file because I didn't think such a minor change would cause problems. The contract with my developer has ended and I don't want to start a new one for this. Any help appreciated. Hi all, Just wondering if it's possible to have a "clear cache" function on a website? Is it possible to clear just that particular website or does the entire history get wiped? I ask because I want my visitors to be able to reset what links they have visited on the site. So if there is any other suggestions to achieve this, they would be appreciated as well. Thanks. I have this code below, and i would like it to randomly place 2 X's in any of the boxes, and each time i refresh the page the X's could end up in any of them, any idea how to do it? Thanks Dr Ben HTML Code: <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <form name="placeships" action="board.php" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="black"><input type="text" id="1" class="hide" name="1" value="" size="2"> </td> <td align="center" bgcolor="black"><input type="text" id="2" class="hide" name="2" value="" size="2"> </td> <td align="center" bgcolor="black"><input type="text" id="3" class="hide" name="3" value="" size="2"> </td> <td align="center" bgcolor="black"><input type="text" id="4" class="hide" name="4" value="" size="2"> </td> </tr> <tr> </tr> <input value="submit" name="submit" type="submit"> </form> </body> </html> Say I have 10+ 468x60 banners I was wondering if there is anyway of having them show up randomly in one spot when you refresh the page. For example here is an ad I'm using: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.tkqlhce.com/placeholder-2762512?target=_blank&mouseover=N"></script> I know there is a way to random images but how do you randomize scripts? Hey there! Is it possible to have a random GIF file loaded each time you open the site? For example if you open the page now, an animated GIF will load to advertise x and when you go to the same page later, an ad will load to advertise y. Thanks in advance!

I want when you click enter, it brings you to 1 of the 4 at random each time... how would i go about that? thanksss. its much appreciated to whoever trys or can help. Hello everyone. Sorry for appearing to be another person to register with "vitally important question" and then probably never be seen again, but I think I'll be using this site to learn as much as I can about HTML. Anyway, my question is about HTML, but not for a website. It's for an iPhone widget. I don't want to advertise for any other forums or anything, but there is currently a tweak in development that allows for windows phone 7 live tiles on an iPhone. They use HTML code and as you can tell, I'm not a coder. There is a slideshow widget available that displays a random picture from a set location. I'm very new to HTML, but I have figured out quite a bit by changing a value and having a look at what it did. There is one thing that has me completely stumped though and this is what I would like to know. In the following code, it has the [Math.floor(math.random() bit. I've tried to add a 1 in the brackets, I've tried changin the random to no and false, I've tried just removing the line and I still can't get it. <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=238, user-scalable=no" /> <script> window.onload = onLoad; var array = "101|102|103|104|105|106|107|108|109|110|111|112|113|114|115|116|117|118|119|120|121|122|123|124".sp lit("|"); function onLoad(){ document.getElementById("show").src = array[Math.floor(Math.random()*array.length)] + ".png"; setTimeout(onLoad,1*200); } </script> </head> <body> <img src = "overlay.png" style = "position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:1;"/> <img id ="show" style="position:absolute;top:-0px;left:0px;width:238px" /> </body> </html> What I want is for it to cycle through all the images in order. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks. Hi there, I have created a site that can be viewed at www.prestigeinteractive.com/legacy2 On this site I have utilized a basic two column design with both a header and a footer. You may need to look at the first page to know what i am talking about. Upon creating the site I wanted to make the athletes on the page extend beyond the borders of the site's wrapper. In order to do that and maintain reasonable filesizes, I opted to splice the images. I used a jpeg for the large part within the wrapper, and used a png in a absolute positioned div for the parts that are to extend beyond the site's wrapper/container (needed a transparent image to display the border and site's background properly). The friend I am making the site for asked if I could set it up so that there can be a number of images that randomly load when a user enters the home page. I am not sure it that is possible using the format I've implemented (2 images properly aligned). Can this be done? I've done it before with single images within a div tag, but not two that need specific coordinates to appear aligned correctly. If "yes this can be done", could someone kindly point me in the right direction to find a tutorial on this. If not, I'd appreciate knowing this as well, as I'll need to come up with an alternative plan. Thank you for your time, G I am an Admin for a PC gaming clan ( |ESF| ), and we have several game servers. Our goal is to have a random "server of the day" widget on the main page of the site. Here is what we need it to do: > Show the same server for all visitors to the page > Show the same server for a 24 hour period, say from 12am - 11:59pm > Have the code editable in case we change/add/remove a server I have some experience in Vb6 and Vb.Net, but not much HTML. I would assume the code would be something similar to: Dim SOTD As New String (Server of the Day) "Server List" Dim s1 As New String (Server 1) Dim s2 As New String (Server 2) Dim s3 As New String (Server 3) If TimeOfDay Is 12:00am Then Show SOTD(Random Server from List) Until TimeOfDay Is 11:59pm End If I know that isn't close to HTML, but it should help get the overall point across. Any help to get us closer to this goal is MUCH appreciated. If I wasn't specific enough with the above information, please let me know what else you need to know. It's very late and I'm super tired. Thank you in advance. Maybe someone here can shed some light on this for me. I am trying to create a site which displays 12 random questions from a pool of a few hundred. A visitor will come to the site, answer the questions and see the results, much like a poll but they will be randomly generated. I am lost as to where to start on this. I tried a poll type approach but that was not the answer. Those were fixed questions and the polls were powered by other sites. Anyone have ideas or tips on how I can start on this? How would i show a random image? When people come onto my site, i want the header to be random out of about, 6 different ones. When you refresh the page, it changes the image. (for more explaingin, ha) How would i go about doing this? I tried using the search function, but I don't know if it's my browser or what but it won't finish loading the results page. Is there a way in HTML, to create a link that can go to two possible pages, but when you click it, it randomly goes to either one? Thanks, Jon Hello, I'm sure the subject about random generators must have been asked a billion times before, but I can't seem to find an answer for my set up. Basically I have a style.css sheet which defines some images like this: #gallery .pic01 { background: url('images/gallery_images/pic_01.jpg') no-repeat; width: 205px Then in my html I have a list of these images like this <div id="gallery"> <ul> <li class="pic01"></li> <li class="pic02"></li> <li class="pic03"></li> </ul> What I'd like to do is have the pictures choosen randomly so that each time the page loads you get a different set of pictures. Is this possible. Please forgive me if this is easy peasy to do - I'm a real html thicky! |
