Randomised Html <title> Tags

[SplitFusion]

How do I code in randomised <title> tags into my website. Basically, I would like it that each time you reload the page, you get a new title appear.

Similar to the bungie.net concept.

Does your site support PHP?

Pff... I guess it can be done by JS too, but I have no idea on how to randomise and work with arrays in JS :P

<script type="text/javascript">

var Statements = new Array(

'bla1',
'bla2',
);

function GetStatement(outputtype)
{
if(++Number > Statements.length - 1) Number = 0;
if (outputtype==0)
document.write(Statements[Number])
else if (document.getElementById)
document.getElementById("ponder").innerHTM
L=Statements[Number];
}
function GetRandomNumber(lbound, ubound)
{
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (ubound - lbound)) + lbound);
}
var Number = GetRandomNumber(0, Statements.length - 1);

</script>

It may look screwy on the BBS, but you get the jist of it hopefully.

I know, its almost like actionscript, settup the array and use random(number) to randomize.. I suggest you learn javascript OR get a REAL host that supports php.

Looks like an awful long way to do
echo $statements[array_rand($statements)];

It could be abbreviated quite substanstially if he had not copied and pasted that code directly from a website and actually knew what he was doing. Anywho, it will work so there's no point in me writing out another set of code.

Also, since it's on the client-side, it will be (usually) much faster than a server-side code. So in this case, even if he had PHP, it wouldn't be worth using.

JS is faster and requires less work to acquire a working module in this situation. Although PHP would offer 100% browser compatibility, JS is still a good choice here.

There is one thing I would add to the script though. If the user doesn't have Javascript enabled then they won't see a title. Try this:

<noscript>
document.write('<title>Default Title Here</title>');
</noscript>

Now, if the browser doesn't support Javascript at all, then (in most cases) even the default title will not appear, and you're just SOL.

Now wait right there...wouldn't that be normal HTML inside the noscript tags?
