The very first widget I wrote did just what you want to do, its old
code but it may give you an idea of where to start:
var req;
var today, month, day, year, filename;
if (window.widget) {
widget.onshow = onshow;
//widget.onhide = onhide;
}
function onshow () {
today = new Date();
year = today.getFullYear();
month = today.getMonth() + 1;
if(month < 10) {
month = "0" + month;
}
day = today.getDate();
if(day < 10) {
day = "0" + day;
}
m = today.getTime();
filename = 'pvp' + year + month + day + '.gif';
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = '<img id="comic"
src="http://www.pvponline.com/archive/' + year + '/' + filename + '"
onerror="imageFailed()" alt="' + filename + '" />';
document.getElementById('thedate').innerHTML = month + '/' + day + '/' + year;
//window.resizeTo(document.getElementById('comic').width,
document.getElementById('comic').height);
}
function imageFailed() {
today = new Date();
var yesterday = new Date(today-86400000);
year = yesterday.getFullYear();
month = yesterday.getMonth() + 1;
if(month < 10) {
month = "0" + month;
}
day = yesterday.getDate();
if(day < 10) {
day = "0" + day;
}
filename = 'pvp' + year + month + day + '.gif';
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML = '<img id="comic"
src="http://www.pvponline.com/archive/' + year + '/' + filename + '"
onerror="imageFailed()" alt="' + filename + '" />';
document.getElementById('thedate').innerHTML = month + '/' + day + '/' + year;
}

Hi,
I am not a developer, but I am starting to learn Javascript to start
creating some dashboard widgets!
I am trying to make a widget that extracts a daily cartoon that is published
daily in this page:
http://www.publico.clix.pt/bartoon/index.asp
Does anyone knows how to do a javascript that can do that job?
Cheers
Pedro da Vila
