How to auto present a randon string of text? - 5/16/2001 20:49:00
I cannot figure out how to take a file which contains a series of phrases, quotes, lines of text, etc... and randomly choose one of the phrases and display it on my web page every day or even every hour.

J-BOTS have a component that can do that and there is a number of free javascripts that can do the same thing.For J-Bots look on the left side towards the bottom of the page... --------------<< Here

Is there a way to JUST get the "tip of the day" and not the other components?

In your head tag:<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide from old browsers
var a = Math.random() + ""
var rand1 = a.charAt(5)
quotes = new Array
quotes[1] = "Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle and quick to anger. (ThinkGeek.com)"
quotes[2] = "Alcohol and calculus don't mix. Never drink and derive. (ThinkGeek.com)"
quotes[3] = "We are Drunk of Borg. Resilience is floor tile. Wan'be sim'lated?"
quotes[4] = "How depressing. Nobody's after my job. (Frasier)"
quotes[5] = "A paperless office has about as much chance as a paperless bathroom."
quotes[6] = "If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed..."
quotes[7] = "BREAKFAST.SYS halted. Cereal port not responding"
quotes[8] = "If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now. (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)"
quotes[9] = "File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N)"
quotes[0] = "Bad or missing mouse. Spank the cat? (Y/N)"
var quote = quotes[rand1]
// -- End Hiding Here -->
</script> Put this in your page body where you want it to appear: <p align="center"><font size="-1">"<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide this script from old browsers --
document.write("</i>" + quote + "</i>")
// -- End Hiding Here -->
</script>"
</font></p>
