Question

I’m very new to jQuery. I need to display customer testimonials from a database on a certain time interval. Something like the one shown on this site. There is a Testimonials container on this site within which testimonials are displayed one by one from the database on a certain time period. I tried for a long time on Google but to no luck. If you know any links where I can download such a script, it will be very helpful to me. Thanks.

Well, you could look at how it’s done at the site you linked, right here

(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var el = $("#testimonial");
        if (el) {
            RotateTestimonial();
            setInterval(RotateTestimonial, 20000);
        }
    });

    function RotateTestimonial() {
        var pageUrl = "RandomTestimonial.php"
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: pageUrl,
            cache: false,
            success: function (msg) {
                $("#testimonial").slideUp('slow').fadeOut(3000, function () {
                    var el = $("#testimonial");  //Refers to some container tag like <div> or <span> where the random message is to be written.
                    el.html(msg);
                    el.slideDown('slow').fadeIn('slow');
                });
            }
        });
    }
})(jQuery)
