alright, after a bit of trial and error I wrote up a working Javascript that allows me to display a random image on a standard HTML-based website. It refreshes to a different image when you view it on the website. Now that I've made that, I'm wondering how, if even possible, I can use this script and the images it's rotating and put it on a forum using standard BBcode. Anyone got some suggestions or able to tell me straight up if it's possible or not?

In theory it's possible, but the forum would have to either a)allow Javascript (huge security risk) or b) have a routine written into the parser file to run Javascript code (huge security risk).

For forum use, your best best is to use a rotation routine written in PHP. Here's a link to an image rotation code written in PHP: http://www.alistapart.com/d/randomizer/rotate.txt

Save it as something like "rotate.php" and then call it with the IMG tags. My signature is now set up using the rotation script. I just put the randomizer script i nto a folder called "sigs" in the images folder of my site. The address of the file is http://masterquan.com/images/sigs/rotate.php. I didn't change any of the scripts. In the same folder ("sigs") as the the rotation script I put the images I wanted to rotate. Then I just called the script with [*img]http://http://masterquan.com/images/sigs/rotate.php[*/img] (without the *'s of course) and now with each refresh, the image should rotate to the next picture.



Send me a PM if you have any problems.

Yeah I would have to agree with Zui PHP is better because you can add what images you want and it will add them in no problem
