Re: cloneNode, Ad Rotation, caching, iframes - issue issues issuess

Hi Mandy,

It sounds like you're having problems with cloneNode.  Is there a
reason you need to clone the ad?

As I understand it, your algorithm is like this:

 1. download an ad into a cache
 2. when the user makes an action, move the cached ad into the "active" area
 3. goto 1

If that's right, then you're never going to re-use the node that
you're trying to clone.  Why not just move it?  In other words, use

 cache.innerHTML = 'downloaded content'

to create the cache, and then

 active.removeChild(active.firstChild)
 active.appendChild(cache.removeChild(cache.firstChild))

to move the cached ad into the active area.

Anyway, it was just a thought.  Oh, and it's been a while since I've
worked with the DOM directly, so I don't know if my snippets will
actually work--they're just meant to be illustrations.
