Hi!

While I was surfing the web I ran into quite an interesting website, namely of Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. (http://www.richemont.com/). The welcome screen differs each time you reload the page. I am quite curious how this is achieved.

I wasn't able to detect a script or code in the HTML. Therefore I believe a different method must be used. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to program such a feature!

Thanks.

Dante

<script type="text/javascript">
var myimages=new Array()

function preloadimages(){
for (i=0;i<preloadimages.arguments.length;i++){
myimages[i]=new Image()
myimages[i].src=preloadimages.arguments[i]
}
}

preloadimages("../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<? echo $iRandom ?>_thebrands_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_investorinfo_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_companyprofile_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_careers_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_contact_on.gif","../images/copyright_2002_richemont_arrow_on.gif")

function goUrl(Selected) {
var newURL = Selected.options[Selected.selectedIndex].value ;
if (newURL!=" ") {
document.location.href = newURL;
}
}
</script>

contains PHP

Thanks for the quick replies. I see your point. Is there a way I can reproduce this when my server supports .php? If so, could you shortly point out what I should do?

Thanks.

those code above should do it. You can make a random image script that is executed on the server side and the normal html is outputted. Id write something but I don't use php. I use asp.net
