dynamic background images

what is the easiest way to have the background image of a site change every time the same user visits the page (limit to 10).

well,....you could use javascript. if you are using a database, you could track the backgrounds with the database. quite a few ways to do it actually

You can do it in 2 popular way:
01. JavaScript
01. JavaScript and CSS

Follow the link below for an example:

thats what i needed to know. iwas not sure if that was a PHP thing or java script. i'll look into doing it with js.

Thanks

you can do it with both php or javascript.

I do it server-side - it's very simple

Briefly the pseudocode would be:
Get folder containing the image
Count All files while creating an array of filenames
Generate a random number within the bounds of the number of files you have
Return: the filename array with the random number (+1) as the selected index
