Random Page Order

[siouxfire]

I have three web pages that branch from a separate page. I want them to appear in a random order. I don't know HTML very well and I'm using Dreamweaver. How do I create a link that will randomly go to 1 of 3 pages?

I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways, but how about create three copies of the page each one pointing to one of the three random pages. Then add a line to the top of each of the main page that cause it to refresh, cycling all three. The line is

(META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="5; URL=xxx.htm)>

Replace ( ) with angle brackets

This sounds like a problem for JavaScript. Without actually coding this for you what you need to do is:

• declare local variables
• define a 3 element array
• put the URL for each page into the array
• get a random number from 1 to 3
• invoke a window open command with the chosen array element as a parameter.

I don't know a way of generating randomness with static HTML, as it is not really a programming language. Any half decent JavaScript reference book will give you the details on this if you don't already know,
