Weight is a measure of how often your banner should be displayed. It is a relative quantity.
Suppose in a campaign you have three banners of weights 10, 30 and 50 respectively. The second banner will be displayed 3 times more often than the first one. Similarly the third banner will be displayed 5 times more often.

7. How does "show X banners at a time" work ?
Not always do people want to display one banner at a time. In some blogs, you might have seen several 125 x 125px ads. This option can be used to set them in a random order each time. It is just one application. This "show X banners at a time" comes in handy in a lot of circumstances.
8. In the "show X banners at a time" option, what is the option "All" for ?
Suppose you have 5 banners in a campaign, if you choose "show 5 banners at a time", only 5 banners will be displayed irrespective of any number of new banners that you might add.
But, if you choose "show All banners at a time" and add 3 more banners in the future, all the 8 will be displayed.

Advanced Usage
9. Is there a way to change the background color, margin etc. of my ads area ?
10. I have more than one campaign in a single page. How can i style them differently ?
Yes, there is a way to do it. If you look at your code, you will notice a parameter "c=rotatee". That is the class name.
In case of displaying multiple banners at a time, "rotatee" is the class name for the parent ad container and "rotatee_elmt" is the class name for individual ads.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/rot/rotate.php?campid=1&s=3&c=rotatee"></script>So, here "rotatee" is the class name. You can supply the necessary styles for that class in your stylesheet.In case of displaying multiple banners at a time, "rotatee" is the class name for the parent ad container and "rotatee_elmt" is the class name for individual ads.
10. I have more than one campaign in a single page. How can i style them differently ?
Again, as mentioned in the above question "c=***" is your Class Name parameter. While inserting the code, you can change this parameter to whatever you want. For eg.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/rot/rotate.php?campid=1&s=3&c=mysite"></script>Here, "mysite" will be the class name and "mysite_elmt" will be the class name for individual ad elements (in case of displaying multiple ads at once).
