random image

kate, i have this working on my own site.
This is the code for the page that i use it on.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>stuff</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript></SCRIPT>

</BODY>
</HTML>

The code in bold is what you are interested in. basically it randomly calls for an image named something between or equal to 1 and 3, because i have three possible random images. And each of these images is a jpg. if you have 5 random images, change the 3 to a 5. if you have gifs instead of jpgs then change jpg to gif.

Also for the sake of simplicity the images have to be in the same folder as the html file that you use this code on.

I hope this helps.
