Should be easy for a JavaScript guru but that's not me.
I would think you could use the same basic script that is used to tell a
person "Good Morning" when they visit a page. It uses the clock on the
server and with a little simple math you can arrive at the point where you
get the days sorted out.
Then a plain IF THEN statement says IF such and such a date THEN
a link equals the page you want.
In fact, the author at www.javascriptmall.com/ uses a simple version of this
script to introduce the concept in the first few chapters of his tutorial.
It is a very easy to understand and interactive tutorial.
If you read through the first few chapters I think you may get some ideas on
how to proceed.
