[WEB4LIB] Help! with JavaScript

[Michael Squires (michael)]

Why not do this a cgi-bin? That way you don't care what the browser is?

I've seen this done:

	- on your html page (e.g., "index.html") put your image tag as
follows:
	<img src="/cgi-bin/rotating-image" ....>
	- write your script to pick a random image and return it
