Ok, I was curious how most websites manage to run the same ad on all their pages, even on older pages. I know you can do this by creating a single image and applying it to every page and then you can change the image by overwriting it. But I have no idea how they change the URL if you want to switch the ad. For example if you look at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dvdfile.com/">http://dvdfile.com/</a><!-- m --> they dont go page by page changing their ads. Yet if you look at a review for 2000's Terminator 2 DVD, they run an ad which is also on the main page. So whats the html code they use to change the URL and image?<!--content-->xml, they use an xml ad rotator in conjunction with some server side language to controll and track the impression rate so they can charge an advertiser accordingly.<!--content-->Originally posted by PeOfEo <br />

Sounds tough, and sounds like it requires some xml know-how. I've never taken any intrest in it because I've only worked with html and java. But i'll see what I can learn about xml so I can figure out how to use this. Is there a code for an ad rotator?<br />

(oh and I think this needs to move over to the XML forums
)<!--content-->I have some code for one built in asp.net but you are probably going to want a server side language first before you jump into the xml. I am just saying thats how major hosts and providers do their ads. You can also use java script to rotate it so a user gets a random ad but you cannot controll the impressions or track the hits this way to accuratly tell a sponsor 300 ppl say your ad today.<!--content-->
