Could use some help with a link problem.

Amy

Hello this script was switched to one with a timer. But now it doesn't
work right. The items in the left are supposed to be the link names,
and the items in the right are supposed to be the link addresses. When
it was switched from a day rotation to a timed rotation something is
keeping it from working as a link. Can anyone see why? Please let me
know, thanks, Amy
one that works by day just following and works correctly. <BODY
onload="changelink();"><a href="#" id="url"></a>

var arr = [
["Link name google web site"],["http://www.google.com"],
["two link"],["http://www.yahoo.com"]
];

now = new Date();
nowDate = now.getDate();
function changelink(){
if (nowDate*2 > arr.length) return;
document.getElementById("url").href = arr[nowDate*2-1][0];
document.getElementById("url").appendChild(document.createTextNode(arr[nowDate*2-2][0]));
}


The following works by milliseconds. It only switches from the left
item to the right item
but left item isn't a link to the right item like it is supposed to be.
Can anyone help me fix it? Thank you very much. <BODY
onload="changelink();"><a href="#" id="url"></a>


var arr = [
["Link name google web site"],["http://www.google.com"],
["two link"],["http://www.yahoo.com"]
];
var dynLink = null;

function init() {
dynLink = document.getElementById('url');
window.setTimeout('changeURL(0)',1000);
}

function changeURL(i) {
if (i >= arr.length) {
i = 0;
}
dynLink.innerHTML = arr[0];
dynLink.href = arr[1];
window.setTimeout('changeURL('+(++i)+')',1000);
}
window.onload = init;

Ask your instructor to explain arrays more clearly.
You don't seem to understand what these mean:
arr[0]
arr[1]

Can't you just tell me what you're trying to say, many of us don't have
instructors, I did a google search and I still don't know how to fix
it.

ask to google : javascript array two dimensions

var arr = [
[["Link name google web site"],["http://www.google.com"]],
[["two link"],["http://www.yahoo.com"]]
];
function changeURL(i) {
if (i >= arr.length) {
i = 0;
}
dynLink.innerHTML = arr[0];
dynLink.href = arr[1];
window.setTimeout('changeURL('+(++i)+')',1000);

Your code wants an array of arrays, make the above an array by removing
the inner brackets (untested, but if the rest works...):

var arr = [
["Link name google web site","http://www.google.com"],
["two link","http://www.yahoo.com"]
];
