The title speaks for itself, I hope somebody can help. I just need to create a link. Instead of the link going to a specific page though it needs to load 1 of 20-30 pages at random.

Try asking this in the javascript catergory as this cannot be done without any extra scripting to add the randomisation.

If you use PHP here's a simple script that'll do it for you.


$links = array();
$links[] = 'http://www.example.com/page1.php';
$links[] = 'http://www.example.com/page2.php';
$links[] = 'http://www.example.com/page3.php';
$links[] = 'http://www.example.com/page4.php';
//etc.
$link = array_rand($links);
echo '<a href="' . $link . '">Random Link</a>';

<html><head><title>multi-link</title>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var numLinks = 4;
var links = new Array(numLinks);
links[0] = "http://www.lycos.com/";
links[1] = "http://www.yahoo.com/";
links[2] = "http://www.google.com/";
links[3] = "http://www.altavista.com/";
window.onload=function(){
if(typeof(document.getElementById)!="undefined"){
document.getElementById("rndLink").setAttribute("href",links[Math.floor(Math.random()*numLinks)]);
}
}
//--></script>
</head><body>
<a href="http://www.google.com/" id="rndLink">Random Link</a>
</body>
</html>

This example uses javascript, and degrades gracefully.
