OK so im trying to have a webpage that rotates every 30 seconds now i have what i need for this but instead of using an array like in what i have now see code below

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Rotating Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    border:0;
}
html, body, iframe {
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
    overflow:hidden;
}    
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pages = new Array(); // this will hold your pages
pages[0] = 'MY-LINK-HERE';
pages[1] = 'MY-LINK-HERE';
pages[2] = 'MY-LINK-HERE';
pages[3] = 'MY-LINK-HERE';
pages[4] = 'MY-LINK-HERE';
pages[5] = 'MY-LINK-HERE';

var time = 30; // set this to the time you want it to rotate in seconds

// do not edit
var i = 1;
function setPage()
{
    if(i == pages.length)
    {
        i = 0;  
    }
    document.getElementById('holder').setAttribute('src',pages[i]);
    i++;
}    
setInterval("setPage()",time * 1000);
// do not edit
</script>
</head>

<body>
<iframe id="holder" src="MY-SPLASH-PAGE-HERE" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

    It took me some time but I got it (tested and working)

    • This example uses jQuery and jGFeed.
    • jGFeed is a plugin for jQuery to do anything you want with RSS feeds.
    • In the HTML source you can get the URL of the plugin to save it.

    Observations:

    1. Your RSS link is not working properly, please check it!
    (http://directitpros.com/cbm/wp/?feedpages)

    When using your link I receive this error from the plugin I am using in browser console:

    "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'feed' of null"

    2. Make sure the links you want to use in iframe are able to browse by iframe:

    Example:

    If URLs are not able to browse by iframe you will get this message in your browser console and your iframe will be empty: 

    "Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options."

    3. If you find a working RSS url and links from it fit the above requirements, use this live example I made to test:

    http://jsfiddle.net/oscarj24/qWdqc/

    (Check browser console and check messages that will appear)

    Let’s go with the code 🙂

    HTML:

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<script src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15208254/stackoverflow/jquery.jgfeed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<iframe id="holder" src="" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>​

    CSS:

    html, body, iframe {
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
    overflow:hidden;
}​

    JS:

    // Array containing pages
var pages = new Array();

// Time in seconds to rotate pages
var time = 30;

// Variable for loop purpose
var i = 1;

$(function(){

    $.jGFeed('http://working-rss-url',
      function(feeds){

        // Check for feeds
        if(!feeds){
          // There was an error, remote url not ok or no feeds
          return false;
        }

        // Do whatever you want with feeds here
        for(var i=0; i<feeds.entries.length; i++){
          var entry = feeds.entries[i];
          // Fill array with RSS entries
          pages.push(entry);
        }

        // If array contains urls
        if(pages.length != 0){
            // Rotate pages every 'x' seconds
            setInterval(function() {
                if(i == pages.length){
                   i = 0;  
                }
                // Replace iframe scr with RSS entry link every 'x' seconds
                $('#holder').attr('src', pages[i].link);
                i++;
            }, time * 1000);
        }

    }, 5); // Number of feeds you want to recover

});

    Hope this helps.
