Hi Dan,

I think this page illustrates what you want to do, better than that it includes a solution too!!

I cannot answer the question on professional grounds - you're asking about Frontpage :D

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function random_img(){
var myimages=new Array()
myimages[1]='/Images/image_1.jpg'
myimages[2]='/Images/image_2.jpg'
myimages[3]='/Images/image_3.jpg'
myimages[4]='/Images/image_4.jpg'
myimages[5]='/Images/image_5.jpg'
myimages[6]='/Images/image_6.jpg'
myimages[7]='/Images/image_7.jpg'
myimages[8]='/Images/image_8.jpg'
myimages[9]='/Images/image_9.jpg'
var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myimages.length)
if (ry==0)
ry=1
document.write('<img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" ALT="name" BORDER="0">')
}
random_img()
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Dan Just paste this script into a <TD></TD> and change the image links to suit, also change the number of 'myimages' in the array depending on how many random images you need.

PM me if you any more help

Simon

Oh yeah, why why why frontpage!

That didn't work, try this...

//<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
//<!--
//function random_img(){
//var myimages=new Array()
//myimages[1]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_1.jpg'
//myimages[2]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_2.jpg'
//myimages[3]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_3.jpg'
//myimages[4]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_4.jpg'
//myimages[5]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_5.jpg'
//myimages[6]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_6.jpg'
//myimages[7]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_7.jpg'
//myimages[8]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_8.jpg'
//myimages[9]='/Images/layout/main_img/image_9.jpg'
//var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myimages.length)
//if (ry==0)
//ry=1
//document.write('<img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" WIDTH="371" HEIGHT="273" ALT="name" BORDER="0">')
}
//random_img()
//-->
//</SCRIPT>

Sorry about the last post, you can post images without being a member.

Sorry about the Front page guys but it's the only program I know how to use to some extent. I've got Dreamweaver and Fireworks too, but can't really get me head round them. Guess I could if I spent ages and ages but it's not like it's my job or anything, I'm just exploring.

What does everyone in the know suggest I use? and where can I get a copy? Spose Kazaa could come in handy:)

I think you misunderstand

You can't post ATTACHMENTS without being a member

Images from other hosted sites shouldn't be a problem!!

That's right - we're quite happy for you to link to pictures held elsewhere (even if in this case it's hosted on our own server).

The attachments bit refers to uploading stuff directly into the BB as they post for people to then download.

We're pretty lax here, and TBH, I'd prefer to continue to allow people to post HTML and things, as long as it doesn't get abused. If it does, then we'll think again.

However, I'd quite like a discussion about this, so feel free to post comments.

Yeah being able to post and make signatures in HTML gives the ability to make nice little signatures and widgets and things :)

There's room for abuse, of course (how would you like to open a thread and find a video of matt-j starts autoplaying - yeek) but I don't think it will prove to be a problem.
