Preserved Topic: Random quotes from external text file? (Page 1 of 1)

Greets!<P>I had a code sample that would give random quotes picked from an external text file. Of course, now that I need it, I can't locate it. <P>Does anyone have a URL or sample that I can snag? I need it to call from an external text file.<P>Thanks!<P>Pat Richard

I was reading the Server Side Includes post further down this forum last week, reminded me of the very same script your looking for, sort of a non ssi workaround-ish thang.
Can't remember where i saw it.....sorry, if i find it i'll give you a shout.<P>Does this help? http://www.webreference.com/js/tips/000420.html <p>[This message has been edited by r@m (edited 23-05-2000).]

No, that doesn't help me. The one I had was a real simple script that just called a random line from a simple text file. Damn - just when I need it, I can't find it.<P>Just my luck!<P>Pat Richard
