Randombanners please help

Help! I'm trying to use this javascript for random banners as a separate file so I don't have to edit everypage when I come to change the banners. It's not working. Does anyone know why?

// a random banner generator
function randomBanner()
{var bannerImage=new Array()
// location of images in this array
bannerImage[1]="http://www.dgm2.com\/merchants\/boys\/mogo_banner_sexy.gif?Time=19:51:12"
bannerImage[2]="http://www.simplytrains.com\/pages\/assets\/banners\/tymeg.gif"
bannerImage[3]="http://www.simplytrains.com\/pages\/assets\/banners\/movietrak.gif"
var bannerLink=new Array()
// text
for pics goes here
bannerLink[1]="<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dgm2.com/m/boys/b.asp?A=3876&I=278\""
bannerLink[2]="<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tymeg.co.uk\""
bannerLink[3]=\"http:\/\/www.dgm2.com/m/movie/b.asp?A=3876&I=1433\""var getRan=Math.floor(Math.random()*bannerImage.length )
if (getRan==0)
getRan=1
document.write(''+bannerLink[getRan]+'target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"'+bannerImage[getRan]+'" alt=\"Click here to visit our
sponsor.\" title=\"Click here to visit our sponsor.\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\" style=\"margin:
0px;\"/><\/a>')
}

here's a different method...

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
	<TITLE>Random Image</TITLE>
	<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
	<!-- Hide script from old browsers

	myPix = new Array("images/redBanner.gif","images/blueBanner.gif","images/greenBanner.gif")
	imgCt = myPix.length 

	function choosePic() {
		if (document.images) {
			randomNum = Math.floor((Math.random() * imgCt))
			document.myPicture.src = myPix[randomNum]
		}
	}

	// End hiding script from old browsers -->
	</SCRIPT>	
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="WHITE" onLoad="choosePic()">
<IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="75" NAME="myPicture" ALT="some image">
</BODY>
</HTML>

I use this for my logo rotation,..use it if you like it

Code:

		<a href="newz.php">
		<script type="text/javascript">
		<!-- //
		var numOfImages = 5 ;
		var randomnumber = Math.random() ;
		var rand_img = Math.round( (numOfImages-1) * randomnumber) + 1 ;
		var logo = new Array();
		logo[1] = "images/logo/logo1.gif";
		logo[2] = "images/logo/logo2.gif";
		logo[3] = "images/logo/logo3.gif";
		logo[4] = "images/logo/logo4.gif";
		logo[5] = "images/logo/logo5.gif";

		var randomLogo = logo[rand_img];

		document.write("<img src='"+randomLogo+"' border=0>")
		//-->
		</script></a>
