hey i wouldn't use the if/then/else method - it just gets way too messy. just set up 3 arrays with numbers as indexes and gif filenames as contents.
or even simpler if you're wanting to stick with clientside. make a directory full of images like
day_01.gif
day_02.gif
day_03.gif
...month_01.gif
...and then have a little function which does the following:
set three variables (day, month, year)
sets three new variables consisting of the absolute path of this directory, followed by 'day_' (and the same for month_ and year_) followed the day (and then month and then year) variable followed by '.gif' .then document write them out where you want them on the page.
even more simply, as you seem to suggest that you have php capabilities. in php 3 and later, you can write text to an image. so you could just have a blank gif file, get the date, and write it to this file. there's a tutorial here:
