164.0. "banners ??" by NIOSS1::DANCONA () Mon Mar 10 1997 17:53

    does any know what cgi or software sites use to 
    display ad banners, since they change constantly
    it is more than picking a random image
    
    thanks

Or, if you are running IIS 3.0, there is a built in component that can handle
this sort of thing.

	Actually, IIS 2.0 ships with NT 4.0. IIS 3.0 shipped on the 
	NT 4.0 Service Pack 2 CD or you can download it from
	Microsoft.

And, just to add to this string,
It also runs on Workstation.  It's called Personal Web Server there.

164.8ContRot slightly different to AdRotXSTACY::imladris.ilo.dec.com::grainneGrainne Ni ChoilighWed Mar 12 1997 18:2533
The Active Server Component for IIS v3.0 which rotates HTML
content is called ContRot, and is available as a free add-on
from http://www.microsoft.com/iis/default.asp (navigate to 
Using IIS-->Developing for IIS-->Samples,Components and Utilities
using the left-hand navigation pane.)

The IIS page describes it as follows:

****

Content Rotator Beta 1
The Content Rotator component automates the rotation of HTML content 
strings on a Web page. Each time a user requests the Web page, the 
Content Rotator component displays a new HTML content string based 
upon information that you specify in a Content Schedule file.

Because the content strings can contain HTML tags, you can display 
any type of content that HTML can represent: text, images, or 
hyperlinks. For example, you can use this component to rotate through 
a list of daily quotations or hyperlinks, or to change your text and 
background colors each time the Web page is opened.

This component is developed in C++ 4.2 (using ATL 1.1). Source and 
binary files are included.

****
Although you can use it, I think it was primarially intended
as an ATL programmimg example.

The ASP component that ships with IIS v3.0 ASP is called
AdRot, and it just rotates text strings (slogans, quotations
etc.)

	Ah, a way to do a random quote of the day!
