This will require JavaScript, or Flash (ActionScript). CSS alone can't do this. There are plenty of threads on this forum about this, try searching.

thanks for the code
i'm tring to make a site very similar to this one

http://www.ironmaiden.com/

as they have the ramdom images!@

Yeah.. the script I posted does in fact work, but you may get a series of results that have some sort of relation (eg. 3,3,3 ; 1,2,3,3,2,1)

oh wont mind that at all..! I'm just tring to figure out where I would insert your code in with my above css?

[mburt]

You wouldn't insert the code in your CSS. That is called "JavaScript" Try to rewrite your entire page based on what I gave you. I could help you if you provided a link to the page in question.

Sorry!
This is all guess work for me seems that somehow I could replace the

.banner
{ width: 782px; height: 175px; background-image:url(.jpg_address); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: top; }
with one that show has a ramdom image address???
