I'm not to familiar with JS, so I'll give you a PHP solution instead, I'm sure someone will come up with one for JS.[code=php]<?php $text[1] = "love"; $text[2] = "hate"; $text[3] = "have no opinoin regarding";
$choice = $text[ran(1,count($text))]; ?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>My opinoin on PHP</title> </head> <body> <p>I must say, I <?=$choice ?> <abbr title="HyperText Preprosessor">PHP</abbr> don't you?</p> </body> </html>[/code]
@gorkyMar 31.2005 — #Most people don't check this, but if you search the JavaScript Forum with the keywords "random text" you'll find multiple ways to set up content arrays and have them display at random. Searching for your queries first can usually be a valuable and faster way to have them answered, especially if they are very general.

@scragarApr 01.2005 — #I've done an image in ASP, you can have the code if you want, all it does is redirect the users current page(or rather an image) to one based on the current day, I'm sure you could change it to use a random number.
