Display html page on day of week

[Archikent]

Hi,

I am new to Html and have been assigned the job of creating a live noticeboard
for a timetable. What I am trying to do is display only certain html pages on
certain days of the week. for example:

On Monday every day would be displayed i.e.Monday.htm through to Friday.htm
then on Wednesday you would only get Wednesday.htm until Friday.htm.

Is there away to do this in html

Cheers

Not in pure HTML

You could do it server-side, with a script that handles the HTML request
and repsonds according to the day.

Or, you could have a cron job on the server, which copies a day-specific
HTML file over a specific file that the user client requests.

Or, you could do it with JavaScript, which would be able to determine
the day according to the local time-zone and then redirect to the local
server file (or request and render it itself)

Or, some other way... but not with HTML on its own, I'm afraid.

No. You'll have to use a programming language.
