How do I generate a "random" URL link??

[pminuk]

I have written code using the math.random which worked once for generating a (random) quote from a list of statesman, this time I want to use a hypertext link so the user can click it and arrive at the site...


the browser doesnt report any "errors" & I've been staring at it far to long to be able to figure out what is wrong!! can anyone assist?
