I've heard of random images, but random pop ups?

**Silverado4x4** · Mar 25, 2001 12:18

Is there a script that will display random pop ups?

Are you talking about a random alert box?
You could use the script at http://javascript.internet.com/messages/rqt-puns.html
as a starting point. You could put the script into a function if you need to call it at a particular point, and change the document.write(quote) to an alert(quote).

If you're talking about a random popup window, this script would accomplish the same thing with some modifications.

I am talking about a pop up window, not a pop up alert box. I will check out that site, but I must tell you I don't know anything about Javascript.

Here it is, modified for a random popup.

<html>
<head>
<title>Random Popup</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>

<body>

<a href="#" onClick="openRandom();">Random Popup</a>

</body>
</html>

Hey,

You shoudl always use Math.floor() (or Math.ceil), but nto Math.round() for Math.random() and random numbers. Explanation can be found here:

So, use this:

randNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*(pageURL.length));
