Change pics related to date

[Skippy]

I want to change a certain pic on my website.
It's the logo wich i want to change, for X-mas, Halloween.
In VB-script its something like this:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<%
Dim strFoto

strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl/test/Logo.gif"

if format(now,"mmdd") > "1101" and format(now,"mmdd") < "1206" then
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_SK.gif"
endif

if format(now,"mmdd") >= "1206" and format(now,"mmdd") < "1226" then
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Xmas.gif"
end if

if format(now,"mmdd") >= "1227" and format(now,"mmdd") < "0105" then
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_NY.gif"
end if

if format(now,"mmdd") >= "0106" and format(now,"mmdd") < "0216" then
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Car.gif"
end if

if format(now,"mmdd") >= "0217" and format(now,"mmdd") < "0326" then
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Eastern.gif"
end if

%>

<img src="<%=strFoto%>">

I always have to depend if the webserver is able to use ASP
Does anyone know how to do this in java, and show me an example ?

Kind regards Skippy

I suppose you are talking of JSP, it should look something like this:

<%@ page language="Java" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>

<%
	// NOT following Java coding conventions :)
	String strFoto        = "http://www.shipinfo.nl/test/Logo.gif";

	Date date             = new Date();	// Equivalent of "now"
	SimpleDateFormat sdf  = new SimpleDateFormat("MMdd");
	String strFormatDt    = sdf.format(date);

	if((strDateFormat.compareTo("1101") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("1206") < 0))
		strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_SK.gif";
	else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("1206") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("1226") < 0))
		strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Xmas.gif";
	else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("1227") > 0) || (strDateFormat.compareTo("0105") < 0)) {
		strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_NY.gif";
	} else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("0106") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("0216") < 0))
		strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Car.gif";
	else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("0217") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("0326") < 0))
		strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Eastern.gif";
%>

...

Of course, I have used a crude manipulation to compare the dates. There would be a better way of achieving this.

Thx my friend for your quick respons.

Unfortunattly it's not working, i changed to path into the correct ways but it's not running.

<%@ page language="Java" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>

<%
// NOT following Java coding conventions
String strFoto = "http://www.shipinfo.nl/Green_bar_Logo.gif";

Date date = new Date(); // Equivalent of "now"
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMdd");
String strFormatDt = sdf.format(date);

if((strDateFormat.compareTo("1101") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("1206") < 0))
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/images/Green_bar_SK.gif";
else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("1206") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("1226") < 0))
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/images/Green_bar_Xmas.gif";
else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("1227") > 0) || (strDateFormat.compareTo("0105") < 0)) {
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_NY.gif";
} else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("0106") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("0216") < 0))
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Car.gif";
else if((strDateFormat.compareTo("0217") >= 0) && (strDateFormat.compareTo("0326") < 0))
strFoto="http://www.shipinfo.nl//test/Logo_Eastern.gif";
%>

Maybe you have a clue why not?
Is JSP normally on every webserver, is it the same as javascript?

Kind regards Skippy

i think you want javascript. Embedded java is executed on the server, which won't work if you have an asp application. At least i think so. Correct me if i'm wrong.

No, JSP is not normally on every web server and it is not the same as Javascript. JSP has server side processing while JavaScript works on the client side.

The logic would be similar to what I typed but certainly not the same. Here's a nice JavaScript tutorial

[Skippy]

Indeed, i think the best would be javascript. It's not working in asp application.
It's just a website for a friend wich owns a gym. I justed wanted to change the logo for x-mas, eastern etc.

I try the tutorial, many thx all of you.

kind regards Skippy
