As in....random...what?

I mean, what would you make random if there were such a thing?

You can use JS to generate random (whatever) and then document.write() it.

Or you can use some server-side language like PHP, PERL, ASP, etc...

Sorry, should of been more specific... I have multiple splash background images and right now I have:

body { background: white url("1-Shards.jpg"); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: top left;}

I want it to load random ones say for a series:

body { background: white url("1-Shards.jpg"); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: top left;}
body { background: orange url("2-Ice.jpg"); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: top left;}
body { background: blue url("3-Explosion.jpg"); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: top left;}

try this :

<script language="javascript">
backgrounds = new Array();
backgrounds[0] = 'path/to/first/background';
backgrounds[1] = 'path/to/second/background';
backgrounds[2] = 'path/to/third/background';

body.background = backgrounds[Math.floor(Math.random() * backgrounds.length)];

</script>

This is totally untested but should work

KARN: Sorry for not getting back sooner (I've not been well and not been able to track down where I had the script!!) - try this (I've got it working so any problems are in the cut and paste so let me know if it goes wrong):

code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function setStyle (stylename) {

   var lnk = document.getElementsByTagName("LINK")[0];

   lnk.href = "css/" + stylename + ".css";

}



var style = new Array(4)

style[0] = "ozone";

style[1] = "gurus";

style[2] = "asylum";

style[3] = "etc";



function randomStyle () {

  var randStyle = style[Math.floor( Math.random() * style.length )];

  setStyle (randStyle);

}

//-->

And call it with <body onload="randomStyle ()">

You may need to change the path to the CSS files and if you are using PHP things can be streamlined somemore. It uses the DOM method for swapping styles but it can be used just as easily with the good doctor's version of a more crossbrower script.

For cross browser compatiblity you can just dynamically write the tag

document.write("<LINK REL='stylesheet' TYPE='text/css' HREF='+stylename+'.css'>");
