Rotating Banners on a page that users stay on for a long time, with Companion Positioning

[bazalinco]

Hello,

The main area of my site is a single web page that users may stay on for several hours. Let's call this "the platform". It has various ajax functions which users will invoke to see different data sets.

I want to display two skyscraper ads on each side of the platform. Given the duration of the users stay on the single webpage, I would like to rotate the skyscrapers every two minutes. To do this, I've used the iframe invocation code with the refresh setting.

The advertisers I promote are competitors. For this main reason, as well as aesthetic reasons, I want to only show ads from the same advertiser/campaign at the one time. I understand that this is what the "Companion Positioning" function does. This seems to work when I use async invocation code, but not when using iframes.

Is there any solution/workaround/hack to having both rotating banners (i.e. timed refresh) and companion positioning together?

Cheers
Baz

Iframe invocation code and companion positioning won't work together since the two iframes are essentially separate and completely independent mini-webpages that aren't "aware" of each other.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your response. I understand that iframe/companion positioning don't work together and the reasons why.

However, I'm still trying to find out what the solution to my problem is. There must be a way around it. Is there any intention to add a refresh capability to any other invocation types other than iframe? Is there a javascript method I can call on a loop (using setTimeout) that will re-load async zone(s)?

Cheers
