Rotating Background Image

If you have more than 1 background image that you want to use, the steps for having the random background images upon each page refresh are about the same as above. Create the images, host them on a free server, and take note of the Image URLs. Next, login to your Dashboard. Go to Template ->Page Elements -> Add a Page Element and choose “HTML/JavaScript”. The javascript to insert is this:


<script type="text/javascript">
var banner= new Array()
banner[0]="Image01URL"
banner[1]="Image02URL"
banner[2]="Image03URL"
banner[3]="Image04URL"
banner[4]="Image05URL"
banner[5]="Image06URL"
banner[6]="Image07URL"
banner[7]="Image08URL"
banner[8]="Image09URL"
banner[9]="Image10URL"
var random=Math.floor(10*Math.random());
document.write("<style>");
document.write("body {");
document.write(' background:url("' + banner[random] + '") repeat center center;');
document.write(" }");
document.write("</style>");
</script>


Rotating Header Image

Login to your Dashboard. Go to Template -&gt;Page Elements -&gt; Add a Page Element and choose “HTML/JavaScript”. The javascript to insert is this:


<script type="text/javascript">
var banner= new Array()
banner[0]="Image01URL"
banner[1]="Image02URL"
banner[2]="Image03URL"
banner[3]="Image04URL"
banner[4]="Image05URL"
banner[5]="Image06URL"
banner[6]="Image07URL"
banner[7]="Image08URL"
banner[8]="Image09URL"
banner[9]="Image10URL"
var random=Math.floor(10*Math.random());
document.write("<style>");
document.write("#header {");
document.write(' background:url("' + banner[random] + '") no-repeat top left;');
document.write(" }");
document.write("</style>");
</script>
Explanatory notes:-

1. The Image01URL to Image10URL are the links to the images that are hosted on the image server. Please insert the full URL beginning with http://

2. This uses a Math object javascript. The random() code will give a random number between 0 and 1. This number is multiplied by 10 and the floor code rounds the number downwards to the nearest integer, giving a value between 0 and 9. At every pageload, the script will display one of the banners from banner[0] to banner[9].

3. The above example assumes you have 10 different images to display. If you have fewer pictures, say 5 pictures, delete banner[5] to banner[9] and amend the number (in red) to 5. If you have more images, you may add banner[10] up to whatever number of images you have, and amend the number (in red) accordingly.
