Actually, it sounds like John Muhl's solution will work best for you -
you could even keep it tucked away in a snippet.
<div style="background-image:<r:snippet name="banner" />">...</div>

I thought there was something more Radiant specific. Maybe it was the
banner rotator that I was thinking of, but I don't think I that will
work for what I am trying to do.
In an ideal world, what I want to do would be this: The css
background-image property of a div would use a random image from a
directory of images that have completely random names. The client I am
building a site for has a Phanfare feed, and I would like to use their
images as backgrounds. I was thinking about setting up a cron job to
pull images from their feed into a directory on the web server, then
randomly choose an image from that directory.
Every javascript solution I have seen requires that the images be
named "samename_#.jpg" and and a random number is chosen and added
into the filename. That is probably something I can achieve with the
radiant random number generator and a stylesheet. I was looking for a
more automated solution.
Do you know of any javascripts or jQuery scripts that would allow for
non-uniform file names?
