hahahahahahahahahaha ---what's wrong w/my code?
 

hi-

i'm modifying a fairly common pic rotating script, trying to get it to fully randomize a list of 151 different "ads", but no such luck---of course i don't know hahahahahahahahahaha at all :(

it works, it just doesn't pull at random from the entire list.

here's what i've got in the beginning of part of the script, which i think is flawed:

var how_many_ads = 151;
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
ad +=1;
if (adhahahaha1) {
txt="xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxx";
url="http://www.mydomain.com";
alt="click here for more";
banner="http://www.mydomain.com/banners/real_bulldyke_femme_sex001.jpg";
width="792";
height="520";
}
if (adhahahaha2) {

etc

etc


there are 151 different pix, when i set the "ad +=1;" it seems to pull at random from the beginning batch of pix, but not go completely through the list, if i set it to "ad +=30;" it pulls a different subset at random, "ad +=75;" will pull a different subset at random towards the end of the list.

i want the script to pull a random pic from the entire set of 151 with equal frequency.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks!

You are using time in seconds, which can only be between 0-59.
You need a number to randomly fall between 1-151.

try

var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*151)

Mine works well


var how_many_ads =(your number of ads);
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
ad +=1;
if (adhahahaha1) {
txt="Your text";

if (adhahahaha2) {
txt="Blah Blah your text";

}
and so on

you're a king Penthouse_mike, that did the trick!


thank you all!
