Topic: Loading a Random BG using CSS (Page 1 of 1)

Is there a way to do this? I want to have about 10 images and I'd like the BG to be random. I know I can do it if it was a regular img, .... i dunno, practical?

Through CSS alone, no.

I would do this by setting several classes in your stylesheet which define different background images, and use whatever method you prefer to randomly declare the class for that element in your markup.

For the cross fading banner(s) on my site, I wrote a PHP script that returns a random image in its folder. I can use it directly as the src attribute of an IMG tag or as the background-image property of a CSS rule.

To make the whole thing look a bit cleaner from the outside, I named the PHP script random.jpg and use an .htaccess to make sure it's processed as PHP.

i did pretty much what poi mentioned here by using the sig rotator script. i asked for permission of course
