I have a poetry site with about 100 pages. Can I put a random link on the
home page that will send visitors to a random page? As always, thanks a heap,
Graeme
 
Do a search on Google for "Random Link JavaScript". (without "")

Hi wewak11
(BTW, Are you from PNG?)

You could try this code
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function select()
{
no=Math.round(Math.random()*3)
var randref
= (no == 1) ? "http://members.ozemail.com.au/~fred.blow/"
: (no == 2) ? "http://members.ozemail.com.au/~joe.bloggs/"
: "http://google.com"
document.getElementById('randlnk').innerHTML =
'<a href="' + randref + '">Random Link</a>'
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="select()">
<span id="randlnk">link goes here</span>
</body>
</html>

Change
no=Math.round(Math.random()*3)
to
no=Math.round(Math.random()*100) or whatever the upper count is.

Add extra elements after (no ==2)
: (no == 3) ? "http://........./"
: (no == 4) ? "http:/........../"

This will place a hyperlink named Random Link on your page, and it will link
randomly

There may be a neater way to do it , such as placing the <a href ..> in the
body of the code and amending its attributes with JS. However, I tested my
code with genuine links and it worked.

Hi, wewak11,

I wonder whether our US friends would know why I asked about PNG :-)))

I would be interested to see your site sometime
 
I like to Wewaks from time to time.

Australia on our north
