hi im a noob to java really only know the basics :( , im after a script, i would like this script to randomly disply a different message in the body of my page each time the page is opened, so i have a list of messages it can say, and then it randomly selects one, if anyone could help me id much appreciate it!

Something like this should do it for you... Just make an array of all the items you'd like to have displayed.

<script type="text/javascript">
text = new Array("PHP Rules","Web Standards Rule","Programming Rules");
document.write(text[parseInt(Math.random()*text.length)]);
</script>

hi thanks for the post ive had little luck building an array, lets say i want to display a b c d and e, if someone could show me how to build a working array, that would be great then i could edit it to show the real displays.

My example above has the array prebuilt (line 2). Just change the values, and you're good to go...

just out of interest, how do you get a pic under your name, is that to do with you rank (how many posts youve sent)?

[pyro]

No, the forums allow you to upload a custom avatar. Just go to your control panel, then to edit options. Down at the bottom there will be an option to change your avatar.
