<p>In my company’s Intranet site, my group maintains an
extensive site of it’s own to disseminate research papers
and installation instructions. I was looking for a way to make
the opening page “look” fresh all the time even if the
content was behind the times.</p>

<p>I had been wanting to learn JavaScript and this seemed like a
ready-made application. I looked all over the web for something
similar but everyone had the same 5 applications.<font
color="#FF0000"> Enjoy!</font></p>

<UL><LI>What you are looking for is in the background and the masthead. I wrote a
little ditty that changes the Background Color based on the
month. For example, White (FFFFFF) in January or Vomit Yellow
(E6E600) in February. <script>
document.write(" This month’s background = " + BackCol);
</script>.</LI><P>
<LI>There is a second script that changes the JavaScript
 image at the top based on the day of the week.
 <script>document.write("The one displayed today is " + Mast + " for day " + dName)</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>document.write(" corresponding to " + TheDay + ".")</SCRIPT>
</LI></UL>
<P>Remember in JavaScript that zero (Ø) is the first logical 
number so Sunday or January corresponds to zero.</P>
<P>Following is the code for the page:
<CENTER><TABLE border=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFE1"><TR><TD VALIGN="top"><PRE>
<P>
</PRE></TD></TR></TABLE></CENTER>
