I would like to use an random image code on my website like this one:

http://www.java-scripts.net/javascri...e-Script.phtml

The only problem is I want a caption to be under the image such as "Turtleman's Image" and when it changes to another image have it display different text for the other image such as "Turtleman's Brother's Image".

Sorry for the weird example but I think that gets the point across.

Ok I know very little JavaScript, but just looking at the code, I'm going to take an educated guess. This may or may not work. My edits will be in bold:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
/*
Random Image Link Script
By Website Abstraction (http://www.wsabstract.com)
and Java-scripts.net (http://www.java-scripts.net)
*/

function random_imglink(){
var myimages=new Array()
//specify random images below. You can have as many as you wish
myimages[1]="img1.gif"
myimages[2]="img2.gif"
myimages[3]="img3.gif"

//specify corresponding links below
var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]="http://www.wsabstract.com"
imagelinks[2]="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"
imagelinks[3]="http://www.java-scripts.net"


//Caption, this may or may not work.
var caption=new Array()
var caption[1]="Turtleman's Image"
var caption[2]="Turtleman's Brother's Image"
var caption[3]="namenotfound is trying his best"

var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myimages.length)

if (ry==0)
ry=1
document.write('<a href='+'"'+imagelinks[ry]+'"'+'><img src="'+myimages[ry]+'" border=0></a>')
document.write('+caption[ry]+')
}

random_imglink()
//-->
</script>

The only thing is I need a code that will work within DIV tags.

And so far I can't get the code above to work

[The Infinity]

Well I tried looking up more scripts but none of them I could find would even work within DIV tags.

Couldn't you just do


<div>
<script>
...
</script>
</div>

and just wrap that javascript in div tags?

technically yes but according to W3C validation its not valid.

[namenotfound]

Change <script language="JavaScript"> to <script type="text/javascript"> that should then validate.

<div>
<script type="text/javascript">
......
</script>
</div>

It validated when I tried.

[The Infinity]

Still doesn't work

It just won't display within the DIV tags.

Why don't you use a PHP script then? If you can, let me know.

Actually I got it. I ended up having to tweak the script a lot to get it to recognize everything but it worked.

And the script tags did finally end up working inside the div tags

Glad you got it working
