Background Image Slideshow - Random?

[freezerburn26]

I was wondering how you would go about doing the Background image slideshow but instead of just cycling through the images you go through them randomly. Thanks. Background Image Slideshow

Use this code I've made for you instead, place in BODY section as usual:

It's important to note the instructions on this line:
// The final number (default=3) of the next line must be equal to the number of images present.
inc=Math.floor(Math.random() * 3)

The code:

<style>
body{
/*Remove below line to make bgimage NOT fixed*/
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
/*Use center center in place of 300 200 to center bg image*/
background-position: 300 200;
}
</style>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

//Background Image Slideshow- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
//For full source code, 100's more DHTML scripts, and TOS,

//modified by cr3ative for random backgrounds

//Specify background images to slide
var bgslides=new Array()
bgslides[0]="bgslide.jpg"
bgslides[1]="bgslide2.jpg"
bgslides[2]="bgslide3.jpg"

//Specify interval between slide (in miliseconds)
var speed=3000

//preload images
var processed=new Array()
for (i=0;i<bgslides.length;i++){
processed[i]=new Image()
processed[i].src=bgslides[i]
}

var inc=-1

function slideback(){
if (inc<bgslides.length-1)

// The final number (default=3) of the next line must be equal to the number of images present.
inc=Math.floor(Math.random() * 3)

else
inc=0
document.body.background=processed[inc].src
}

if (document.all||document.getElementById)
window.onload=new Function('setInterval("slideback()",speed)')

</script>

Hi there,

Would anyone possibly be able to take a look at randomizing the photos on this script?:

I would have tried it myself, however it's a bit different to the background images script, in that each thumbnail image also has a hyperlink to the main image.

Thanks.
