Hi,

Web Diva complimented me about my little Quotes Widget on my site Special Trusted Friends. It's a pretty simple script I got for free somewhere a number of years ago, originally an Ad Rotator but I just adapted it for motivational quotes, each time you visit or refresh the page a different Quote/Ad appears.

Here is the script:

var quotes=new Array()
//change the quotes if desired. Add/delete additional quotes as desired.
quotes[0]='There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. <em>-Douglas Everett</em>';

quotes[26]='If there is something to gain and nothing to lose by asking, by all means ask! <em>-W. Clement Stone</em>';
quotes[27]='It\'s not the situation... It\'s your reaction to the situation! <em>-Robert Conklin</em>';

quotes[34]='Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can\'t have a rainbow without a little rain! <em>-Anon</em>';

quotes[38]='Live less out of habit, and more out of intent! <em>-Anon</em>';
quotes[39]='Be there for others, but never leave yourself behind. <em>-Dodinsky</em>';
quotes[40]='Every new day is a chance to change your life! <em>-Anon</em>';
quotes[41]='Be mindful of the future but not at the expense of the moment. <em>-Obi-Wan Kenobi</em>';
var whichquote=Math.floor(Math.random()*(quotes.length));document.write(quotes[whichquote])

To add a new Quote/Ad simply copy and paste the last one, eg:

quotes[41]='Be mindful of the future but not at the expense of the moment. <em>-Obi-Wan Kenobi</em>';

underneath the last quote and add 1 to the number, in this case 41 to 42, eg:

quotes[41]='Be mindful of the future but not at the expense of the moment. <em>-Obi-Wan Kenobi</em>';
quotes[42]='Put your new quote here! <em>-New Name</em>';

Make sure any words with a single quote such as "Don't" you backslash the quote like "Don\'t"!

Here is an example with AD Code:

quotes[42]='<a rel="nofollow" href="https://your link to the product" target="_blank"><img style="width: 100%; max-width: 728px; height: auto;" src="https://your link to the product image jpg/png/gif" alt="Product Name" /></a>'

The style for this example is a standard 728x90px ad.

To display it I use two different methods.

First method, simply enclose the code between div's, eg:

<div style="text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%; max-width: 728px; height: auto;">
Script here!
</div>

Or to display the same code on multiple pages keeping the main code in one place, eg:

<div style="text-align: center; margin: -15px 0 0 0;">
<script src="/custom/js/motivational-quote-script.js"></script>
</div>

The advantage about this method is by keeping the script itself in one place/file, whenever you add a new Quote/Ad you only have to add it to the main file!

Obviously, all styles would be to your own discretion and styling needs.

Hope you like this, feel free to copy and use it and if you come up with any other uses for it please let me know, enjoy!

Thank you and kind regards,

Mark
