Random image problem

[karmaman]

Hi I am hoping one of you can help me.
I have a javascript to produce random images each time the page is refreshed which works great.
Is there a way I can use this in the background of a tabel cell so that I can have body text radeable over the top?
In brief the table cell contains the body text and each time I reload the bach the background in that cell will change.

yes sire you can do that simply by storing images names in array in your JS
then choose one of them each time to be the SRC="" of your Ads image

thank you, but i think you misunderstand I want that to happen in a table cell that also has text in the fore ground of that cell.

That doesn't matter, instead of outputting a <img src="myrandomimage.jpg"> you can output <td background="myrandomimage.jpg"> (not sure if that syntax is right, I never use tables for layout).

Thanks guys could you here is a cut down version of the code i am using.
please could you comment as I am a bit hard of understanding.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var j,d="",l="",m="",p="",q="",z="",list= new Array()
list[list.length]='images/Home/random_image/tile-1.jpg?&width=140&height=140&name=Random Image&alt=Random Image&border=1';

j=parseInt(Math.random()*list.length);
j=(isNaN(j))?0:j;
if (list[j].indexOf('?')==-1) {
document.write("");
}
else {
nvp=list[j].substring(list[j].indexOf('?')+2).split('&');
for(var i=0;i
sub=nvp[i].split('=');
switch(sub[0]) {
case 'link':
l="<a href='"+http://
q=" target='"+unescape(sub[1])+"'";
break;
default:
m+=" "+sub[0]+"='"+unescape(sub[1])+"'";
break;
}
}
z=(l!="")?((q!="")?l.substring(0,l.length-1)+q+">":l):"";
z+="<img src='"+list[j].substring(0,list[j].indexOf('?'))+"'"+m+">"+p;
document.write(z);
}
</script>
