use PHP instead of Javascript
I have the code done already, but it looks extreamly bloated, what I'm asking is what I can do to cut down on the mass of code.
Code:if (document.images) { pic1= new Image(); pic1.src="image01.jpg"; pic2= new Image(); pic2.src="image02.jpg"; pic3= new Image(); pic3.src="image01.jpg"; pic4= new Image(); pic4.src="image01a.gif"; pic5= new Image(); pic5.src="image01a.gif"; pic6= new Image(); pic6.src="image01a.gif"; } function get_random(maxNum) { if (Math.random && Math.round) { var ranNum= Math.round(Math.random()*(maxNum-1)); ranNum+=1; return ranNum; } else { today= new Date(); hours= today.getHours(); mins= today.getMinutes(); secn= today.getSeconds(); if (hours==19) hours=18; var ranNum= (((hours+1)*(mins+1)*secn)%maxNum)+1; return ranNum; } } function get_Image() { if (document.images) { var choose_one= get_random(3); choose_one--; var pics= new Array(3) pics[0]=pic1.src; pics[1]=pic2.src; pics[2]=pic3.src; pics[3]=pic4.src; pics[4]=pic5.src; pics[5]=pic6.src; document.write("<img src='"+pics[choose_one+3]+"' width=150 height=44><img src='"+pics[choose_one]+"' width=200 height=100>"); } }

i think this is what your looking for......
not sure, it's a canned script that i havent played with before.....Code:#!/usr/bin/perl $t1="Title Page"; $path ="wherever"; $database = "wherever"; $credit = "whomever"; $count=0; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; #################################################### ##### Parsing Stuff # #################################################### read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}); @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}); foreach $pair (@pairs) { ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair); $value =~ tr/+/ /; $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg; $FORM{$name} = $value; } ################################################# # Print out the contents of $database in a form # ################################################# print "<HTML>\n"; print "<BODY>\n"; print " <body text=#000000 bgcolor=#FFFFFF link=#0000EF vlink=#59188E alink=#FF0000> <center><table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH=100% NOSAVE > <tr> <td><font color=#000099><center><img src=logocov.gif height=100 width=137></center></font></td> <br><b><font color=#000099><font size=+2>$t1</font></font></b><p> <b><font color=#000099><font size=+0>Click on Thumbnails for full size</font></font></b></td> </tr> </table></center> </body> </html> <center><TABLE width=100% border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1> "; ##### Give Credit ##### open (CREDIT, "$credit"); NEXT: while (<CREDIT>) { chomp; ($c1) = split(/\|/); } close(CREDIT); ####################################### open (DATABASE, "$database"); NEXT: while (<DATABASE>) { chomp; ($p1) = split(/\|/); if (($count == 4) or ($count == 8) or ($count == 16) or ($count == 20) or ($count == 24) or ($count == 28) or ($count == 32) or ($count == 36) or ($count == 40) or ($count == 44) or ($count == 48) or ($count == 52) or ($count == 56) or ($count == 60) or ($count == 64)){ print "<tr></tr>"; } print "<td><center><a href=$path/$p1><img src=$path/$p1 height=150 width=160></a></center><center>$c1</center></td>"; $count=$count+1 } close(DATABASE); print "</center></TABLE>\n"; print "<p>"; print "<hr>\n"; print "<CENTER><b><A HREF=http://bermudarace.com>Back to Bermudarace.com</A></b></CENTER>\n"; print "</BODY>\n";print "</HTML>\n";

That PERL is straight out, I don't need a sledgehammer to open a walnut.
Secondly, I don't have a host serving PHP, and even if I did I refuse to use it on something as trivial as making a picture appear randomly. Thanks anyway, though.

If your code does what you want it to (and it looks like it should), consider yourself lucky and go with it. It should work just fine on your web site. If it's for randomizing a signature, you'll want to try a PHP version as no webmaster with half a brain will allow Javascript to be used in a forum. But of course you already knew that, I was just elaborating for the rest of the peanut gallery thay might read the thread.
Clan? What Clan?
I'm the Master. I need no Clan.
also with PHP there is no limitation that the script and the immage be on the same server. you can have the PHP script on one server that allows you a CGI-BIN dir (where the Perl or PHP scripts genreally reside) and the images on a totaly different server(s)
