PLEASE HELP

This has been driving me crazy for days:

IF ANYONE CAN HELP FIX THE HTML BELOW, PLEASE HELP! (please email me
at (e-mail address removed) - or reply here)

i am trying to load up a random background image which is the
background for the table. at the moment the image in the html is named
1.jpg (and i woulld like it to rotate with 3 other images 2.jpg, 3.jpg,
4.jpg)

I'm not sure if i need to put something in the head tags, if it is java
script that i need, and although i have done random images before, it
seems more difficult that it is a background and that it isn';t a page
background but a table background.

here goes, and help appreciated:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

<body>
<table width="850" height="589" border="0" align="center"
background="1.jpg">
<tr>

There is no javascript in your problem, so please ask elsewhere.

i had been told on another forum that javascript was involved, thats
why i posted here, the javascript forum.

background of a table. can anyone help?

Responses are under "Random Background Image Scripts??" in
comp.lang.javascript.

Hi Matt,

You need to place some javascript code into the file:

Add this between your header tags

<script>
function RndImage(t) {
var i = parseInt(Math.random() * 5) + 1;
document.getElementById(t).background = i + ".jpg";
}
</script>

and then change your code at the beginning of the body to this:

<body onLoad='RndImage("imgTable");'>
<table id="imgTable" width="850" height="589" border="0" align="center"
background="1.jpg">
This will give you random images from 1 to 5 - change the number 5 in the
function to give you more (or less) images.

HTH

Merry Christmas

Martin

var i = parseInt(Math.random() * 5) + 1;

Why do you recommend parseInt , involving conversion to String and back
again, instead of Math.floor as in the newsgroup FAQ, or possibly |0 ?

Can someone tell me if this a real tracker? Or is it one designed to show you a different message at certain times, ie. acting like one?	0	Jan 10, 2021
