Hey everyone,

Could someone please help me work this problem out: When a user enters the website, it will pull text from some location (possibly an XML file) and load it into a text field. The trick is that I want it to randomly load a different chunk of text in each time the user opens the site. There are about 25 different small pieces of text I want to randomly load.

I’m thinking of using XML to store the 25 different text sentences, but am open to other ideas.

Thanks so much! :ne:
