Header Design Issue

[teesside44]

Hello,

I have searched the forums and can't find anything on this subject so i thought i would ask....

Is it at all possible to have a random loading header image when the page is refreshed?

For Example Code:

</head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var theImages = new Array()

//Random-loading images
theImages[0] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/img.jpg' //
theImages[1] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/img1.jpg' //
theImages[2] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/img2.jpg' //
theImages[3] = 'http://www.mydomain.com/img3.jpg' //

var j = 0
var p = theImages.length;
var preBuffer = new Array()

for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preBuffer[i] = new Image()
preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]
}
var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));

function showImage(){
if(whichImage==0){
document.write('<a href ="http://www.mydomain.com/index"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=720 height=450></a>');
}
else if(whichImage==1){
document.write('<a href ="http://www.mydomain.com/index"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=720 height=450></a>');
}
else if(whichImage==2){
document.write('<a href ="http://www.mydomain.com/index"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=720 height=450></a>');
}
else if(whichImage==3){
document.write('<a href ="http://www.mydomain.com/index"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border=0 width=720 height=450></a>');
}

}

</script>
</head>


and then

<script>showImage();</script>

where the header would be placed.... just wondering any help is cool..

Thanks,
Phill

second person today who has posted code here before bothering to try it instead!

what's wrong with people?
LOL

Are y'all scared or something!
Just backup and try it!

if you want to test the code first, create a simple page in dreamweaver. Once it works paste it into actinic
