?? on placement of random image

[leTigre]

Hi, I'm using the following code to place a random image with links:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function random_imglink(){
var myimages=new Array()

myimages[1]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame_Beth_01.gif&quot;
myimages[2]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame_Darla_01.gif&quot;
myimages[3]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame_Natalie_01.gif&quot;
myimages[4]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame_Toni_01.gif&quot;
myimages[5]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame_Twins_01.gif&quot;
myimages[6]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame2_01.gif&quot;
myimages[7]=&quot;/Homepage/images/mainFrame_Vivian_01.gif&quot;


var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_Beth.htm&quot;
imagelinks[2]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_Darla.htm&quot;
imagelinks[3]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_natalie.htm&quot;
imagelinks[4]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_Toni.htm&quot;
imagelinks[5]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_twins.htm&quot;
imagelinks[6]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_laPorscha.htm&quot;
imagelinks[7]=&quot;/MainFrame/mf_PS_Vivian.htm&quot;

var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myimages.length)
if (ry==0)
ry=1
document.write('<a href='+'&quot;'+imagelinks[ry]+'&quot;'+'><img src=&quot;'+myimages[ry]+'&quot; border=0 ></a>')
}
random_imglink()
//-->
</script>

I would like the random image to appear in a specific spot on a sliced page. Should I use an image placeholder, a named anchor, or ?? Could you please post the code for this, too, b/c I'm not very swift with the coding bit. Thanks to anyone who can help!

first things first... the FIRST element in an array is [0] not [1]...
that will put 7 things in each array.. the last one being [6]...
okay, so you have your arrays set up for the links and the images... in the html do this...
<img src=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;randomimg&quot;><br>
<a href=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;randomlink&quot;>Click Here</a>

and then after all your array stuff do this...
var imgrand=Math.random()*10;
var linkrand=Math.random()*10;
var imgnum=Math.round(imgrand);
var linknum=Math.round(linkrand);

if (imgnum>6 || linknum>6){
random_imglink();}
else {
document.getElementById('randomimg').src=myimages

;
document.getElementById('randomlink').href=imagelinks[linknum];
}

HOPE THAT HELPS

Actually, the random image will change each time the page is visited, so there is no button to &quot;click here&quot;. I don't want to change it into a totally new javascript. I'd just like to add a way to identify an image placeholder for it to load into. Is there a way I could do it that way? Thanks!
