Trying to change pop up

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 19.2007

Hello,

I have a code that works great for clicking a button and getting a random pop up page, I am trying to adjust the code to change it from a pop up page to have it go to random pages within the current page on click, any suggestions?

Code:

<!– Begin
function go_to(url) {
window.open(url,””, “height=670,width=550”);
}
function rand_link() {
var a;
a = 1+Math.round(Math.random()*3); // a = random number between 1-3
if (a==1) go_to(“http://www.site1.html“);
if (a==2) go_to(“http://www.site2.html“);
if (a==3) go_to(“http://www.site3.html“);
}
// End –>

thanks, Dennis

@LeeUDec 19.2007 — I'm not sure what you mean by "random pages [b]within[/b] the current page".

thanks, Dennis?

@LeeUDec 19.2007 — No problem. Just drop the first function and replace the second one with this:
[CODE]
function rand_link() {
var a;
a = 1+Math.round(Math.random()*3); // a = random number between 1-3
if (a==1) window.location = "http://www.site1.html";
if (a==2) window.location = "http://www.site2.html";
if (a==3) window.location = "http://www.site3.html";
}[/CODE]
Understand, though, that some people may have their browsers set to open a new window/tab, which you can't control.

var randomlinks=new Array();

randomlinks[0]="http://www.yahoo.com";

randomlinks[1]="http://www.google.com";

randomlinks[2]="http://www.webdeveloper.com";

randomlinks[3]="http://www.sitepoint.com";

randomlinks[4]="http://www.cnn.com";

function randomlink() {

window.location=randomlinks[Math.floor(Math.random()*randomlinks.length)]

}

window.onload=randomlink();

</script>

@LeeUDec 19.2007 — Ah, much nicer. Thanks!

@mona979authorDec 19.2007 — This looks good, but does it work for a page load or a button click? I need the random url to work with a button.

thanks

<button onclick="randomlink()">random site</button>

Success!
