I think that for all scripts, you have to specify the photos required... it's unfortunate and time consuming, but it has to be done.

I'll have a quick look around for a script like you want though, and report back if I find anything.

Merry Christmas

If using JavaScript then you'd have to specify all the images required as it doesn't have the permissions to scan photos in a directory.

What you could do is name each picture 1.jpg through to 500.jpg and then have the JavaScript pick a random number, add .jpg and call up the image.

But if you use PHP or Perl, they can both scan a directory for the photos in it, and pick one at random, no matter what the file names are.

Hi. I'm looking for a similar code. I have a code that makes the images random, which is good, but now, i want them to link to pages. The randomized images are banners to friends of our sites, and i want them to link to their respective websites. Can anyone help me out here?

Sounds like a job for sql to me, but I don't know that much.
