Randomize the XML ticker

[Azteccoupe]

1) Script Title: Ajax XML Ticker (txt file source)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/ajaxticker.htm

3) Describe problem: I am using the ticker to show short testimonials on various site pages, but I would like the messages to be random - so the same first entry does not show up on every page.

To randomize the order of the messages when they are shown, try finding the below block of code inside the .js file, and add to it the line in red:


//Cycle through XML object and store each message inside array
for (var i=0; i<this.contentdiv.getElementsByTagName("div").length; i++){
if (this.contentdiv.getElementsByTagName("div")[i].className=="message")
this.messages[this.messages.length]=this.contentdiv.getElementsByTagName("div")[i].innerHTML
}
this.messages.sort(function() {return 0.5 - Math.random()})
