Hi Christophe,I just did this for a client, but the The General Store gives you a good starting point, too. It's got a rotating banner ad feature that accepts text-based banner ads.Just type an
![]()
tag into the textarea field (instead of a text-based ad), and it will display the image banner you named in the
![]()
tag instead of whatever text you could have entered instead ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions http://www.smithmicro.com/webdnasolutions/.
