Thanks guys! Server-side coding would be nice, but it's not PHP-enabled, and I think the only method would through ASP which I, frankly, haven't the foggiest clue about! For the time it'll take to download the relatively small number of 'facts', it shouldn't be a problem.
I take it, using your code, Glen, I'd have a series of hidden divs and then jQuery will randomly pick one and show it? This, I presume, will require all of the divs to be duplicated in all of the pages I want to have a random fact displaying on? Is there a way to have the 'facts' centralised -- for example in the jQuery 'custom.js' file or something -- so it's easy to add and remove new or old facts? Thanks for your imput. We've nearly cracked it! :-D Zarino On Jun 26, 11:07 pm, "Glen Lipka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree.
