The lines below the asterisk in the text file above specifies the name of the images (ads) to be displayed, the
hyperlink addresses, the alternate text (for the images), and the display rates (in percent).
The first line in the text file above specifies what to happen when a visitor clicks on one of the images.
The redirection page (banners.asp) will receive a querystring with the URL to redirect to.
Tip: To specify the height, width, and border of the image, you can insert the following lines under REDIRECT:
REDIRECT banners.asp
WIDTH 468
HEIGHT 60
BORDER 0

<html>
<body>
<%
set adrotator=Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator")
response.write(adrotator.GetAdvertisement("textfile.txt"))
%>
