Hallo Les,
the problem is the randrange function is not really
a random function. It can happen you will get the same
number more than 5-10 times.
If you will get the range set to 1000 (like (1,1000)),
your "randomness" will be better then.
Another point: don't use <if>, you can simplify your
code like that:
<cfparam name="imageswap" default="#randrange(1,7)#">
<cfoutput>
<img src="home_photo#imageswap#.jpg">
</cfoutput>
Best,
Miro.

Subject: [CF-Talk] Random Images
I'm using the block of code below to place a random image on a page each
time the page is loaded. However, for some reason, it only seems to swap
the first THREE images out, not all seven.
<cfparam name="imageswap" default="#randrange(1,7)#">
<cfif #imageswap# is "1">
<img src="home_photo1.jpg">
<cfelseif #imageswap# is "2">
<img src="home_photo2.jpg">
<cfelseif #imageswap# is "3">
<img src="home_photo3.jpg">
<cfelseif #imageswap# is "4">
<img src="home_photo4.jpg">
<cfelseif #imageswap# is "5">
<img src="home_photo5.jpg">
<cfelseif #imageswap# is "6">
<img src="home_photo6.jpg">
<cfelseif #imageswap# is "7">
<img src="home_photo7.jpg">
</cfif>
I could do this with JavaScript instead, but hell, it's close to 50 total
lines of code by the time you're done. Is there any way to get it a little
more "random" and show all seven images instead of just the first three like
it's doing?
Or....am I a total idiot and have a simple syntax error I'm just not seeing
here?
