Success!

The CGI script works great!!

*NOTE*
Pat, the script you recommended is a good one but anyone who decides to use it must put a "1" at the very bottom of the script. Otherwise you will get an ERROR message. This will save u time and frustration.
THANKS ALL!!

as JP said, if you are allowed to use server-side-includes on your sites, a cgi-script will help. i often use SSI Random Image Displayer:http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/ssi_image.shtml to do this but there are probably hundreds of scripts like this on the net, and in case you don't like SSI Random just choose the one that fits best to your wishes....

I can't help but feel that a simple CGI script would eclipse this problem.

Ok....
I got the script to work
BUT... after each image I am getting the following message:
Content-Type: text/html

ERROR!

/afs/.aa.psiweb.com/home/4/aa002028/fliweb/cgi-bin/rand_image.pl5 did not return a true value at
/opt/scripts/cgi-bin/Public/safeperl5 line 80.

Do any of you know what this means and how I can correct it?

Hey John,

Is  exactly how it would look in the code?
I've only used cgi scripts in forms so this is new to me.

Could you give me another example of how I would be writing this in html?
I have an imagess folder onthe sever so the path, from the images folder would be: ../cgi-bin/script.pl5

Thanks Again!

Whether you need to rename the html file or not depends on your web host, ask them if you need to. You might also ask the which form of the SSI tag to use, but I thing most support the exec cgi command, something like this:

And yes, the cgi script is better because it will work with all browsers that render images.

One last thing...

Must the html file be renamed to .Shtml?
And I'm not 100% sure what to include in the html/shtml that will load this script.
Worldmart's page has the following:

I think I agree using the CGI script.

Pat, the one you suggested looks great. I think I'm going to try that one out. I'll let you know the results.

Thanks once again to all of your suggestions!!

Can anyone tell me where to I can find a javascript that swaps an image on a page evertime that page is accessed? I'd like the images to populate randomly...no sequencing.
I thought this would be a simple script to find but I'm having trouble locating it.

Thanks
Much
