Making a website with a changing backgroung

[kyle937]

does anyone know how to make a website that has a background that changes every time you go to the home page just like the tumblr home page.

There are variety of ways to accomplish this, but a simple solution may include assinging a random background image to the page every time the page is loaded.

This would involve storing the path of the images in a javascript array and generating a random number within the length of the array. This random number will be used for selecting the array index that holds the picture for the background image.

Here's a demo: http://itg.somee.com/dw/dw-466413/

The script may look something like this...

<script>
  var backImg = [
      "image1.jpg",
      "image2.jpg",
      "image3.jpg"
  ];

var rnd = Math.floor(Math.random() * backImg.length);   

if (document.body){
   document.body.style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + backImg[rnd] + ')';
}
</script>

Why dont you give it a try, post some of your own code and see if you can build upon the sample above..
