Question

jQuery: update content every week (or long period of time)

Answer 1

+1 A:

You could find out the week of year to select the div:

(got the code from http://javascript.about.com/library/blweekyear.htm)

Date.prototype.getWeek = function() {
  var onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(),0,1);
  return Math.ceil((((this - onejan) / 86400000) + onejan.getDay()+1)/7);
}
$(function(){
  var today = new Date();
  var weekno = today.getWeek();
  $('#quotes-wrapper').load('/static-files/testimonials.html div.quote-'+weekno);
});

elektronikLexikon, I tried it but it didn't work, it hides the entire "#quotes-wrapper" container.I added a ' to the end of "+weekno" and it now shows the "#quotes-wrapper" container though, but no testimonial:".load('/static-files/testimonials.html div.quote-'+weekno');"

weekno is 38 in this week. Is there a "div.quote-38"?

Oh wow! It worked! :DThis is pretty much what I needed, all I need to do now is just change my div.quote-1, div.quote-2, div.quote-3, etc, to the proper number of the week we are at right now.I only have a total of 21 testimonials, so I was numbering them 1 through 21 of course. Now all I need to do is change the numbers to the corresponding week.Thanks a lot elektronikLexikon!
