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?

There are different ways of doing this depending on your skills and your server-side technology.
You could use Javascript or PHP for instance.

Ok, can you give me an idea of where to go for the script?

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.

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.

Thanks Tailslide! It looks easy enough. I will give it a go. I knew Outfront was the place to go.
