No, really, I should be posting this in some sort of Javascript help board, but I felt like posting it here....

Yeah.

Now my friend's doing a webcomic and I agreed to help him on the actual website. But I want syndicated weekly content. However, what I got was something that resembled syndicated weekly content:

<script language='javascript'>

<!--

	var comicName = 'OnlineComic';

	var comicDir = 'weekly/images/';

	var noImage = 'images/noupdate.gif'; // Displays if no updates for 2 weeks.

	var comicWidth = '652';

	var comicHeight = '253';

	var comicFormat = 'gif';



	function lastComic()

	{

		var date = new Date(_date-24*60*60*1000*(_date.getDate()%7));

		var blah_date = new Date(date-24*60*60*1000*(date.getDate()%7));

		var d = blah_date.getDate();

		var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;

		var m = blah_date.getMonth() + 1;

		var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;

		var yy = blah_date.getYear();

		var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;



		// If IMG NAME changes, change next line.

		document.images.OnlineComic.src = comicDir + year + month + day + '.' + comicFormat;

	}



	var _date = new Date();

	var date = new Date(_date-24*60*60*1000*(_date.getDate()%7));

	var d = date.getDate();

	var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;

	var m = date.getMonth() + 1;

	var month = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;



	// IMG NAME below

	document.write('<IMG NAME='OnlineComic' ALT='' + comicName + '' BORDER=0 SRC='' + comicDir + year + month

	+ day + '.' + comicFormat + '' WIDTH='' + comicWidth + '' HEIGHT='' + comicHeight + '' onError='lastComic()'>');

-->

</script>

Notice the double quotes have been changed to single quotes, which would make understanding some lines extremely hard.

<!-- I wonder if you can write cryptic messages like this... hmm...-->

Anyways, the thing is, this works only for days that are multiples of seven, and the last days of months. That really isn't too much of a problem, but I'd like it if it was actually weekly.

More important, and the problem I need to ask you guys is:
How can I archive this shizzle in Chapters and Pages without having to resort to manually change the archive every single time I have to upload a new page?

Any suggestions for javascript and/or filename format changes?

I'm going to second overkill's advice -- use PHP, at the very least. If nothing else, then your readers won't download all the code for navigation themselves. That means it's faster, and you don't have to worry about people looking at stuff they shouldn't.

I looked at the quick function reference for PHP after checking out the basics.
....
.....
I'm positively scared out of my mind right now.
I know, it's nothing compared to actual programming languages... but still...
It's a scripting language with about a thousand different functions.

...

So uh, where do I start if I want to script some sort of syncopated content?

And I give McGrue and everyone else major major kudos for actually coding this site.
I am such an idiot just need a bit of help.

PHP tutorials are a good way to go in the beginning. Making sure you have a firm grasp of how your forms interact with the users and how submissions interact with the server will go a long way to solving beginning issues.

After you've had some familiarity, basically the php.net documentation is your best friend. The talkback in there is very useful and quite often will have sample code for exactly what you're looking for with any given function.

Good luck!
