http://www.htmlgoodies.com has a quite few random scripts. Also have you tried http://www.hotscripts.com/JavaScript/Scripts_and_Programs/Randomizing/ ? also, http://js-examples.com/js/ there are quite a few others but I lost the links when someone opened an attachment they shouldn't have :mad:

I hope these links help, they have helped me out of a lot of jams.
