Daily Quote with javascript

[Allister]

Hi there - hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I've set up a javascript Daily Quote script which works up to the
point of showing the quote for the day the app is launched after it is
built, but then seems to be cached and wont change on the next day.

In my header I have the array source (quote.js) which is local on the
device and has:
var quote = new Array();
Stamp = new Date();
date = Stamp.getDate();
quote[0]="first quote";
quote[1]="second quote";

…..down to

quote[31]="31st quote";

In the html I have:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write(quote[date]);
//-->
</script>

At first I thought it was caching in the manifest, but I took out the
quote.js entry and it doesn't seem to help. It could also be my
understanding of javascript.

Any help gratefully received.

The program is probably like this open in the memory of the apparel
when he opens he only comes back to the previous state and not opening
a new call.
What comes me now the mind it is to do JavaScript to constantly be
modernized to verify the date and to show in the screen...

Something like that (even so I don't know it is angered to work):

<b id="texts">&nbsp;</b>

<script type="text/javascript">

var quote = new Array();

quote[0]=""; quote[1]="1"; quote[2]="2"; quote[3]="3"; quote[4]="4";
quote[5]="5";
quote[6]="6"; quote[7]="7"; quote[8]="8"; quote[9]="9";
quote[10]="10"; quote[11]="11";
quote[12]="12"; quote[13]="13"; quote[14]="14"; quote[15]="15";
quote[16]="16"; quote[17]="17";
quote[18]="18"; quote[19]="19"; quote[20]="20"; quote[21]="21";
quote[22]="22"; quote[23]="23";
quote[24]="24"; quote[25]="25"; quote[25]="25"; quote[27]="25";
quote[28]="25"; quote[29]="25";
quote[30]="25"; quote[31]="31";

function LoadDate() {
var stamp = new Date();
date = stamp.getDate();
document.getElementById("texts").innerHTML = quote[date];
setTimeout("LoadDate();", 1000);
}

window.onload = LoadDate;
</script>

HI there - thanks for getting back to me so promptly on this!

Can you just clarify what should be part of the .js file and what
should be in the html. I want to separate all the quotes from the html
as it gets unwieldy. Up till now I (other than reference to the array
source in the header, I only have

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write(quote[date]);
//-->
</script>

in the body of the html.

What of your code needs to go into the array and what into the html,
calling and writing out the array data?
THanks

Create an DailyQuotes object in a separate file

DailyQuotes.js

function DailyQuotes() {

      var quotes = new Array();

      quotes[0] = "quote';

      quotes[1] = "quote'; 

 

     quotes[X] = "quote';

}

DailyQuotes.prototype.getCurrentQuote = function(){

     today = Date.... //

      this.getQuote( today );

}

DailyQuotes.prototype.getQuote = function(day ){

      return quotes[day];

}

and then in html

dailyQuotes = new DialyQuotes();

var quoteOfTheDay = dailyQuotes.getCurrentQuote();

Regards

Cristian

Hi Christian - thanks for this.

Unfortunately I'm still having problems in getting it to fire up and I
get a parse error from the DailyQuotes.js file

In the html, does it matter that there is both DailyQuotes and
dailyQuotes (which I assume you meant to be in the body), and does it
have to be wrapped in the JavaScript tags in the html body? I assume I
reference the DailyQuotes.js file in JavaScript in the header still?

Thanks for all your help in getting me sorted!
Warm regards,
Allister
