Rather complex scenario here... I'm using several images rotating based on time of day. The images display fine.

<script language="JavaScript">
var layout = new Array;
layout[0] = "http://www.blabla.gif";
layout[1] = "http://wwwblabla.gif";
var digital = new Date();
var l = digital.getHours(24) % layout.length;

document.write("<img src=" + layout[l] + ">");

As only one image will display at any given time, I want to count the number of times each particular image is loaded.

<script language="JavaScript">
var advertisers = new Array;
advertisers[0] = "http://blabla/statistics/stat.php?id=blabla";
advertisers[1] = "http://blabla/statistics/stat.php?id=blabla";
var digital = new Date();
var l = digital.getHours(24) % advertisers.length;
var adhit = advertisers[l];

</script>

<img scr= "adhit" width="1" height="1">


If I use document.write(... to load the link to the stat counter for the image loaded, I get the blue ? icon on the page 'cos in fact there is no image, but the counter increments fine.

When I use <img src= with or without the " of the variable name and with or without the height and width, I cannot get the stat counter to increment the hit.

Any suggestions on either getting rid of the ? icon or getting the <img src to work ???

Thanks in advance.

You can combine those script tags into one.

Use
document.write("<img scr='"+adhit+"' width='1' height='1' style='width:0;height:0;visibility:hidden;display: none;'>
)

and place it inside the script tag to correctly insert the url before printing it out on the page while making sure that the ? icon isn't visible.

Thanks!! You can probably see the big grin on my face as I'm typing this reply

Here is the final code that hides the ? and gets a hit to the stats counter:

document.write("<img src='"+ advertisers[l] +"'style=visibility:hidden;'>");

Thanks to TwoD for getting my thinking going again
