Well I wanted to thank all of you for taking the time to respond to my question. I didn't have any luck so I went another route. I have dreamweaver ultra dev 4.0 so I just installed a random image extension. That worked great! You can see it at cataluna.com/clients/sallberg

Thanks everyone!

Brooke

Did you install it properly?

Did you upload the CGI script in ASCII mode?

Did you CHMOD the CGI script properly?

Are all the images in the right location? Are they listed properly in the script?

You *must* have the correct URL in the IMG SRC attribute. So make sure that it's _not_ www.ser.ver.

At first I did have the ser.ver as cataluna.com - but it didn't work so I tried that too. I have it back now and it still isn't working.

Any ideas...

Brooke

PS - I already contacted the creator of the script and I have not heard back yet.

read the instructions again...

Suzanne — Sun, 20 May 2001 01:18:15 +0000

I'm pretty sure you haven't read the instructions properly, since "http://www..ser.ver/cgi-bin/rand_image.pl" isn't a valid url.

www..ser.ver should be your server url. In this case www.cataluna.com.

Read the readme.txt file VERY CAREFULLY and make all the changes properly and you should be fine!

Okay - you can see this at cataluna.com/clients/sallberg

The rotating images are supposed to be on the right in that big empty space. But as you can see they are not working. Any ideas? Can you see anything that I might be doing wrong?

Thanks you guys. I will give this a try and let you know how it goes.

Brooke

It will work fine, but it's not JavaScript

Suzanne — Wed, 16 May 2001 20:37:41 +0000

It's a CGI script.

You will have to make sure that this will work on your server.

I went to: http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/
And downloaded the random image scripts. Do you think that will be good for what I am looking for?

TIA!

Long answer

Suzanne — Wed, 16 May 2001 06:20:28 +0000

For the short answer, you might want to search for free JavaScripts that do just that.

If you want to write it yourself, you will want to create an array of images. Then you would write a small script that randomly chooses one of the images. Then you would write another small script that would write the image into place...

document.write('

So I want to do a random script in javascript - how do I do that?
