Onload Random Images in a web page

globalstrata · Jul 15, 2006

I am trying to use the following code in order to generate a random image. However, it gives me errors when I try to load the page using <body onload="newImage()"> and if I use <body background=onload="newImage()"> no errors show up but the images doesn't either. Can anyone advise me what am I doing wrong?

Code:

// Returns a Random Image

n = 0;

MyImages = new Array();
MyImages[0] = '/images/bg.jpg';
MyImages[1] = '/images/bg1.jpg';
MyImages[2] = '/images/bg2.jpg';

function newImage() {

currentIndx = Math.round(Math.random() * 3)
document.theImage.src = MyImages[n]
}

Apart from the fact that your script should always load the first image, because you're always sending the value 'm' there, this question is more suited for the Javascript forum (forum216). Make sure you tell them what 'theImage' actually is in your html.

Thanks. Last night, I used the search to find if there was a Javascript forum and the search return nothing. I guess they were working with the site or something.
