Currently, my desktop is an html page that shows new comics on it every day (from www.ucomics.com)
The coding is shown at the end of this message (I copied it from another forum: I don't know much about javascript or html
). The URL for the comics are different everyday (to avoid leeching i guess ) and the URL itself contains the date in a strange format (year/month/date).
The problem: On the 1st day of every month, it gets the date wrong & hence the comics wont load - eg on the 1st of October it will think thats its the 31st of September
The desktop works fine for every other day, and u can see from the attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance!!
