You can also do image randomizing client-side. Just add a few lines of
javascript to generate the image name to load.
In the example below, you would name your images rotate_1.gif, rotate_2.gif,
etc. in the images subdirectory. They should be all the same size.
In the HEAD section of your page:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
// Rotate pictures
var PixCount = 20; // No. of pictures
var PixIdx = Math.ceil(PixCount * Math.random());
PixIdx = "" + PixIdx;
LoadedPix = new Image();
LoadedPix.src = "images/rotate_" + PixIdx + ".gif";
function LoadPix() {
document.images['LoadedPix'].src = LoadedPix.src;
}
</SCRIPT>
Where you want the images to appear, initially load a transparent pixel:
<IMG NAME="LoadedPix" SRC="images/clearpixel.gif" WIDTH=240 HEIGHT=60>
Add to the BODY tag: onLoad="LoadPix()"
With a little modification, you can even make the images continue to rotate
while the page is already loaded, although some users find this a tad
irritating.
