Swapping images on load

#1

:music;
Using Dreamweaver 2004 MX, I want to insert images on my home page, keep a
library, and then have another image of the same size load in that spot the
next time. I also have Fireworks 2004, but I'm not very familiar with it.

If anyone can help me with this process, I would very appreciative.
http://www.rochester.edu is a good example of what I'm after.

Any help is appreciated, as always,

Here's a way to do a random image load -

Put this in the head of the document -

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

and then put this in the body of the page -

<body onLoad="displayRandomImage('csmember',urls)">

using Cold Fusion, ASP or PHP you can set the src attribute of an image element
to be any dynamic value. Then you can use any method you like to change that
value.

an example would be to have a directory with all your images, lets say
img/front/
and in here you place your images naming them 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg etc.

Then you load the index page (in this example an asp file) with an image that
uses a dynamic value.

<img src="img/front/<%= imgCount %>.jpg" />

Then at the top of this page lets say you grab the last digit of the current
second.

Dim imgCount
imgCount = Second.Now
imgCount = Right(imgCount, 1)

This will give you a random image name 0.jpg through 9.jpg

Obviously you can get more or less complicated with this as you like.
