Pulls up a random page, it works but is there a better way?

The code shown is simple but to the point and it works. If you want to try something without using an array see this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/227 ... hout-array

thanks, just was not sure I was using the best way to do it.

I think I found a way to cut the array down a bit.

this version only stores the number in the array to choose from
and puts the link together later, (saves array\code space).

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Create an array:
var links = new Array();
links[0] = "00";
links[1] = "01";
links[2] = "02";
links[3] = "03";
links[4] = "04";
links[5] = "05";
links[6] = "06";
links[7] = "07";
links[8] = "08";
links[9] = "09";

function openLink() {
  // Chooses a random link:
  var i = Math.floor(Math.random() * links.length);
  // Directs the browser to the chosen target:
  parent.location = "index" + links[i] + ".html";
  return false;
}
//-->
</script>

Code: Select all
