Dynamically displaying what's new on your page

There are several web pages that can look better and make more sense with updated features/elements displayed. For example: Would you like to display a "new" image alongside new content that will automatically disappear (the image) after a specified date has been reached?

The logic to doing so is simple. If the current date is less than the specified future date, write out the "new" image:

<script>

var newimage='<img src="http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/data//Web_design/Do_it_Yourself/Java/whats_new_files/new.GIF">'
var today=new Date()

function whatsnew(yr,mon,day){
var expire=new Date(yr,mon,day)
if (today.getTime()<=expire.getTime())
document.write(newimage)

</script>

<!--"New" image will disappear after Dec 30th, 2002-->
<script>whatsnew(2002,11,30)</script> This is new content!

Example: This is new content!
