Random Image on Refresh

any easy code?

[PatrickKerby]

Hey, I'm not much of a programmer, more so strictly a designer, but I'm looking for some simple code that would allow an image within a cell to load randomly from a designated subfolder of images when the page is loaded or refreshed.

Any quick simple code for this?
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It's simple if you enter the file names into the script, but JavaScript can't read a directory (a security feature). If you want that you'll need PHP, Perl, or the like.

ahh.. so if i keep all the files in the root folder, there will be no need for a database?

also... I dont know how to actually code this out, any suggestions for a resource where I could find some pre-written code?

Easy. Search for Yaromat RANDOM SWAP IMAGE.

It's a Dreamweaver extension, but the code is all javascript. I use it on a couple sites.

You can also find something over at hotscripts.com if you search for "random images" and limit your search to JavaScript.

Let us know how it turns out.
