Hi,

I have an array of 10 blocks of text/basic html. I want to allocate these randomly (with no repeats) to 10 layers. Can anyone advise how to go about this please?

The blocks are small adverts with links, the client wants the allocated randomly onLoad to ensure no advertiser consistently gets top spot.

Thanks very much in advance :)

Maybe you could adapt this:

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
d=new Array();
e=0;
c=0;
//Enter ads here and remove new lines in the array.
b=["Company A","Company B","Company C","Company D","Company E","Company F"];
while(c<b.length){
f=b[Math.round(Math.random()*b.length-0.5)]
if(d[f]!=1){
document.write(f);
d[f]=1
c++
}
}
</script>
</body>

Hope this helps,

Neil
