RandomImage

This page written with Java Script selects a random image from a set of images. If you use it, I would appreciate (but not require) a link back to my home page. Thanks! See Also: RandomImageLink - where you can associate a URL with each image.

The function(s):

RandomImage(imageList)
RandomImageLong(imageList,params)

imageList A string of space (or comma) seperated images
params extra parameters to the img eg "width=152 height=136"
Sorry you need a comma at the end of the string :-(

How To

Include random.txt in the HEAD section of you document. (do view-source on IE)

Add a function call inside your document:

<script language="javascript">
<!---
RandomImage("dog2-small.gif condo-view-small.gif hiking1-small.gif hiking2-small.gif malanda-small.gif snowball-small.gif snowcamping-small.gif spider1-small.gif spider3-small.gif ");
// --->
</script>
<br>

View the source of this document for an example.

Note that with the RandomImage() function it is not required that all the images be the same size!!

Reloading the page will cause a different image to load (well at least a randomly chosen image to be selected)!
