How can I make a Custom/Alternating welcome screen?

@DanteAlighieriNov 28.2003

Hi!

While I was surfing the web I ran into quite an interesting website, namely of Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A. (~~[url]~~http://www.richemont.com/[/url]). The welcome screen differs each time you reload the page. I am quite curious how this is achieved.

I wasn’t able to detect a script or code in the HTML. Therefore I believe a different method must be used. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to program such a feature!

Thanks.

@PeOfEoNov 28.2003 — #it was done with server side scripting.

@96turnerriNov 28.2003 — #<script type="text/javascript">

var myimages=new Array()

 function preloadimages(){
   for (i=0;i<preloadimages.arguments.length;i++){
   myimages[i]=new Image()
   myimages[i].src=preloadimages.arguments[i]
   }
   }
 
   preloadimages("../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<? echo $iRandom ?>_thebrands_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_investorinfo_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_companyprofile_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_careers_on.gif","../images/home/copyright_2002_richemont_home<?echo $iRandom?>_contact_on.gif","../images/copyright_2002_richemont_arrow_on.gif")
 
   function goUrl(Selected) {

var newURL = Selected.options[Selected.selectedIndex].value ;

if (newURL!=" ") {

document.location.href = newURL;

}

}

</script>

contains PHP

@DanteAlighieriauthorNov 28.2003 — #Thanks for the quick replies. I see your point. Is there a way I can reproduce this when my server supports .php? If so, could you shortly point out what I should do?

Thanks.

@PeOfEoNov 28.2003 — #those code above should do it. You can make a random image script that is executed on the server side and the normal html is outputted. Id write something but I don't use php. I use asp.net

@DanteAlighieriauthorNov 28.2003 — #Ok! Thanks for your help! I will take my thread to the php forum. I am sure someone can help with the script there! But now I at least now what to do!?

@96turnerriNov 28.2003 — #thats what i was going to suggest posting in the php forum, gl on that, you welcome for the help
