Ok, Im trying to make a popup that randomly picks 1 out of 5 images to be displayed when you open a website. I know how to do the Popup, but how would I randomly choose the image and make it display on open?

Am I in the wrong forum? if so… very sorry!  
Thanks a lot!

What you need to do is find some javascript that shows random images, and just have them in that html.

Or, if you don’t want the user to know that is a random image by looking at the source or want to make it more cross browser accessible, you could also do it in PHP.
