SUMMARY

This article describes syntax differences between the Ad Rotator component (MSWC.AdRotator) installed with Internet Information Server (IIS) 3.0 and the Ad Rotator component installed with Internet Information Server 4.0.

The Ad Rotator component displays advertisements and "rotates" different advertisements every time an Active Server Page is displayed.

MORE INFORMATION

The Ad Rotator component installed with IIS 4.0 changes the way properties are specified, as well as what values are valid for the TargetFrame property.

The syntax changes from IIS 3.0 to IIS 4.0 are as follows:
  • Changing property setting syntax from Property(value) syntax to Property = value syntax
  • Changing TargetFrame values from the frame name (_top) to a name/value pair (target=_top)
The following is valid VBScript syntax for the IIS 3.0 version of the Ad Rotator component: 
<%  
Set ad = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator") 
ad.Clickable(False)
ad.Border(0)
ad.TargetFrame("_top")

Response.Write ad.GetAdvertisement("/ads/adrot.txt")
%>
The following is valid VBScript syntax for the IIS 4.0 version of the Ad Rotator component: 
<%  
Set ad = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator") 
ad.Clickable = False
ad.Border = 0
ad.TargetFrame = "target=_top"

Response.Write ad.GetAdvertisement("/ads/adrot.txt")
%>
