Data Tables and JavaScript help

[amies]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this:

I have a list of quotes held in a data table and they are accessed randomly every time a page loads through a template containing JavaScript. I am currently reading the rows with a switch statement:

switch(selectedQuote) {
case 1:
quote = stripTNR("<!wem record=0 datafield.0 HTMLSTRING>");
break;

The data table is growing rapidly and so is the switch statement so I was wondering if there was any way I could replace the <!wem > statement with something like:

quote = stripTNR("<!wem record=/""+selectedQuote+"/" datafield.0 HTMLSTRING>");

The above code currently just returns the 1st line of the data table only.

If this is not possible is there any other way of randomly selecting a row fro the data table?

Thanks,

Amy

Amy,
I think you need to provide a little more code to help us resolve this for you, also suggest you post in the Javascript forum where more experts on Javascript reside -
