how to make the banner/graphic change with each refresh

[onyourplate]

I want to have the banner graphic change with each refresh...not like a slideshow where it is timed, but only when the page is refreshed or you go elsewhere in the site (to a different page) should the graphic change. And i have a folder from which i would like the graphics to come from.
I'm not even sure what script to use to do this?! Thanks for helping.

Probably best implemented with server-side scripting. Specifics will depend on what server-side technologies are supported by your web host (PHP, Perl, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.)

You can use JavaScript (though if a use had it disabled then the banner wont display properly) or PHP/ASP (which will work no matter what)

There are plently of these scripts already floating around in the respective forums, do a search (which is what you should of done in the first place, if you read the forum rules etc)

I did perform a search through the threads, i was missing some KEY WORDS but thanks for your kind, kind suggestions. jeez...

the correct term is random image scripts and can be done with Javascript. Thanks!

http://www.dynamicdrive.com might have something like that in a javascript, and because javascript has certain inadequacies like being turned-off on some client machines, they might even have some Server side script that does what you want. Check them out. :)

If you have Server-Side technologies availabe to you, use them over Javascript.
