Java Script Help

[mayfair]

I have a java script that finds a random number, than with that number prints out the picture in that array spot. Here is the code

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!-- Hide from old browsers
function random_imglink()
{
var myImages=new Array()
var myComments=new Array()
//specify random images below. You can have as many as you wish

myImages[1]=&quot;images/yuma.jpg&quot;
myComments[1]=&quot;Sunrise in Yuma, AZ&quot;

myImages[2]=&quot;images/odell1.jpg&quot;
myComments[2]=&quot;Marlene Kohanes &amp; Husband on Odell Lake&quot;

myImages[3]=&quot;images/greghickman.jpg&quot;
myComments[3]=&quot;Greg Hickman&quot;

myImages[4]=&quot;images/mount_hood.jpg&quot;
myComments[4]=&quot;Mount Hood Oregon&quot;

myImages[5]=&quot;images/Multnomah_Falls.jpg&quot;
myComments[5]=&quot;Multnomah Falls Oregon&quot;

myImages[6]=&quot;images/Oregon_Beaches.jpg&quot;
myComments[6]=&quot;The Oregon Beaches&quot;

myImages[7]=&quot;images/Crater_Lake.jpg&quot;
myComments[7]=&quot;Crater Lake at Sunset&quot;

myImages[8]=&quot;images/Light_House.jpg&quot;
myComments[8]=&quot;Light House on a Oregon Beach&quot;

myImages[9]=&quot;images/diamond_falls.gif&quot;
myComments[9]=&quot;Diamond Falls Oregon&quot;

myImages[10]=&quot;images/silver_falls.gif&quot;
myComments[10]=&quot;Silver Creek Falls Oregon&quot;

myImages[11]=&quot;images/mt_st_helens.gif&quot;
myComments[11]=&quot;Mount Saint Helens Washington&quot;

var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myImages.length)
if (ry==0)
ry=1
document.write('<img src=&quot;'+myImages[ry]+'&quot; ALIGN=RIGHT alt=&quot;'+myComments[ry]+'&quot;>');
}
random_imglink()
// -- End Hiding Here -->
</script>

The problem is that in Netscape 4.5, when I do print preview nothing shows, but when I take out the entire Java Script the whole page will print preview and print out fine. Any seggestions?

i guess that when you print preview, the page is NOT processed, meaning javascript is NOT executed either, that's why nothing shows up !

 

[mayfair]

but the page loads and gets a random picture shown on it? I tested this some more and when every I use a document.write in the body of a web page the print preview doesn't work, but when I do it in the head, it works. Any thoughts?

yes
if you do it in the header, it's BEFORE the page is loaded - whereas in the body it's done AFTER the page is loaded
the print preveiw (i think) shows the page as it was when it is loaded - so if you change the page after loading, the changes won't appear on the print preview - unless you make the user save the page and then print the SAVED page (not the actual one)
