mb716 -> How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:11:30) I want to have pictures change each time the default page is brought up. I can't find a solution on the web, so I came here. I knew I would get great advice. So, any ideas?

Tailslide -> RE: How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:16:05) There are different ways of doing this depending on your skills and your server-side technology. You could use Javascript or PHP for instance.

mb716 -> RE: How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:17:07) Ok, can you give me an idea of where to go for the script?

Tailslide -> RE: How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:18:29) Which do you want? Javascript or PHP?

mb716 -> RE: How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:21:18) Which is better? I've got more experience in using Javascript, but have a couple on that page already. Would one more interfere? Go ahead and give me the php. I'll figure it out.

Tailslide -> RE: How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:23:50) I'd say PHP would be more reliable if you have it on your web server as it's done server-side and doesn't rely on users having JS switched on or security settings blah blah blah. Here's a simple one: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/randomizer/ That will pull random images from a folder and display in a <img> tag in the markup. Let me know if you need a random background image from the CSS as I have that somewhere too.

mb716 -> RE: How to change content when page is refreshed (5/14/2008 13:30:14) Thanks Tailslide! It looks easy enough. I will give it a go. I knew Outfront was the place to go.
