How do I display different pictures each time a page is visited?

C

Creekside

I have a website and would like to display a variety of cartoons on the home
page - in one location that change when the page is revisited or refreshed.

Requires some server side scripting.

If you are hosted on an Apache / UNIX server, with the web masters CPanel,
There is probably a built in feature that will do just what you want.

No it doesn't.

Put this in the head of the document -

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function displayRandomImage(imageName,array){
document.images[imageName].src=array[new Date().getTime()%array.length];
}
urls=["images/cs1.jpg","images/cs2.jpg","images/cs3.jpg","images/cs4.jpg"]
// load this line with your image names and paths
//-->
</script>

and then put this in the body of the page -

<body onLoad="displayRandomImage('csmember',urls)">
<!-- csmember is the NAME of the image receiving the random changes -->

LOL.

When you said no it doesn't, I thought you were talking about the CPanel

Hey, it's Friday, I'm easily confused.

Uh uh.

The world's not round.
We can't get there from here,

Maybe the world goes around and around.

But if you start at Murray's solution, you won't need to go any further.

It is an elegant piece of code and I can see that it will work 100%. (I
don't even need to try it; Murray is the guru. )

Thanks, guys! Now all I need is some time to put it in the site. You've
saved me hours of hunting for code.
