Random Color Code for HTML

[klear]

Hello I was wondering if there is a Color Code that will let me make a background change to a random Color every time i load a page? Example, when i refresh the page the background color changes. I made a toolbar using an iframe and it is functional but I was wondering if there is a code to make the background color change to a random color for that toolbar.

No, there isn't. You will simply have to write a script that loads a different random colour each time the page reloads.

Would you happen to know where I can find one? I googled one but it wasn't what I was looking for.

You could do this serverside or clientside. Clientside code will probably be JavaScript (forum216). Server side will be whatever you know, and whatever your server supports.

Then do a forum search (top of page) to find the appropriate forum. It's a trivial exercise in any of the main serverside languages (ASP, PHP, Perl or whatever)

Don't forget to change the color of text (if any) on that changing background.

Foamcow, thanks for the tip.... I did not use the word script... instead I used the words "html code"... well thanks guys for all the tips.

You can't do it with HTML. It must be done client side with Javascript or Server side with PHP/ASP/ColdFusion.

You should realise that HTML is a markup language. All it does is indicate to a machine what a particular bit of text is (a paragraph, a heading, a list item etc). It describes your content.

HTML contains no way of creating interactivity beyond hyperlinks.

HTML contains no way of altering content (barring despicable old fashioned style related tags, but we don't use those right?)

HTML for Content
CSS for style/layout
Javascript for behaviour
Server side scripting for business logic and data handling
