Hello,

I looked all over the forums here but couldn't find anything on this:

I'd like to have a js random image (1 out of 4) load each time a user visits my page. Along with that image, I'd like a specific quote and sub heading (text) to appear -the quote can be text or another graphic.

In other words, if random image '1' is loaded, 'quote 1' (text or another graphic) and 'sub head 1' (html text) is loaded, if random image '2' is loaded, 'quote 2' and 'sub head 2' (html text) is loaded, and so on...

Is this possible? I'm no js expert... if it's possible, how do I do it?

Many thanks in advance,

Cheers,

jon

This is a long lost issue, but let me provide you a simple demo on how to deal with this thing.
Just be careful when you are editing the line's or the whole script will be worthless.

         path = load[1].dir[randomizer];
         quotes = load[2].msg[randomizer];

         } 
      }

else
