Each story entry is broken up into lists for Photos, Links, Titles and Stories. There is a place in the HTML web page code where you set how many stories are to be displayed at a time. You can have as many or as few story entries as you want. See below for the place in this script where you specify how many entries you want to use. For instance, if you want to have just 10 stories to choose from, enter numAll=10 at the place below. The script will then draw from entries 0-9 only, and will ignore the remaining entries 10-14. You can add or remove entries as you wish, just maintain the consecutive ordering. The entries must be numbered starting with [0]. ***************************************************************************/ // Photos - images can have any valid file name // Note: all photos must have the same size, width="140" height="95" // var fixedphoto="random_stories/images/thumb_sph.jpg" var photo=new Array() photo[0]="random_stories/images/thumb_yuhs.jpg" photo[1]="random_stories/images/thumb_sph.jpg" photo[2]="random_stories/images/thumb_sackler.jpg" photo[3]="random_stories/images/thumb_oster.jpg" photo[4]="random_stories/images/thumb_construction.jpg" photo[5]="random_stories/images/thumb_youn.jpg" photo[6]="random_stories/images/thumb_fox.jpg" photo[7]="random_stories/images/thumb_schoelkopf.jpg" photo[8]="random_stories/images/thumb_barger2.jpg" photo[9]="random_stories/images/thumb_spethschol.jpg" photo[10]="random_stories/images/thumb_disneyhauser.jpg" photo[11]="random_stories/images/thumb_bulldogs.jpg" photo[12]="random_stories/images/thumb_chang.jpg" // Links to Stories // var fixedlink="http://newresidentialcolleges.yale.edu/" // var fixedlink="javascript:open_release('http://opa.yale.edu/news/article.aspx?id=5970')" // var fixedlink="http://publichealth.yale.edu/challenge/" var link=new Array() link[0]="../news/yuhs.html" link[1]="http://publichealth.yale.edu/challenge/" link[2]="../news/sackler.html" link[3]="../news/oster.html" link[4]="../news/construction.html" link[5]="../news/youn.html" link[6]="../news/foxfoundation.html" link[7]="../news/schoelkopf.html" link[8]="../news/barger.html" link[9]="javascript:open_release('http://opa.yale.edu/news/article.aspx?id=6738')" link[10]="../news/disneyhauser.html" link[11]="../news/bulldogs_israel.html" link[12]="javascript:open_release('http://opa.yale.edu/news/article.aspx?id=7070')" // Titles // var fixedtitle="Yale Launches Public Health Challenge" var title=new Array() title[0]="Construction Under Way for New Health Services Center" title[1]="Yale Launches Public Health Challenge" title[2]="Gift Funds New Institute for Sciences" title[3]="Anonymous Gift Celebrates Student–Faculty Connection" title[4]="Yale Tomorrow Campaign Helps Transform Yale’s Campus" title[5]="Yale Alum Acts Against Hunger" title[6]="Fox Foundation Funds Work on Parkinson’s Disease" title[7]="A Conversation with Robert J.
