Nope can't edit the files from VSD outside of the program G'Kar, it doesn't have any kind of import capabilities so all has to be done inside or never inside again if you d it outside.

@Eric & Gunsmoke: Have you checked the settings of the slider you're using? Many and of them give an option for a random viewing of the images rather than in a specific order so you may be able to just change a setting. If so you can just do that for each of your galleries on the pages and it will all be different then. If not, dunno what to tell you, find a slider that does? I know there are some that do.

.... Just went and checked and Wow Slider definitely has a Random order setting so you may want to look into something like that. Hope that helps :)

That's very restrictive not been able to do any code at all

Well you can do code additions and edit a few things in the Headers and such too, just not outside of the program. Similar to the Shopping Cart system you have an HTML Tool that you can add your HTML with so although I agree it's still very restrictive, it's still doable for the most part. Just not external editing is all. :)

@ Gunsmoke: hehe isn't she just a cute little block head! :P

I'm using the jquery slider from Erics page because it shows the slider at the full background size, no matter the size. Not sure WOW will do that. I'm looking into options. Thanks for all the input. I really don't want to edit the code outside VSD. I can input HTML box to add code to VSD and edit that (inside VSD). Like I said, looking into options.

What I want this for is actually not my site. My sister is an author and has published several books. I'd like to randomly rotate the the background on her site to show the various covers of her books.

BTW Jo Ann, love the new little avatar! :D


I see. Random images in Javascript is quite easy to do and I know Jquery is driven by Javascript it's still different, I wouldn't know Jquery for that.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Well, simply doesn't work for me. Not sure why. Would not preview. I went ahead and published and still doesn't work. No background image shows up at all. Can you take a look at the page source and see if you can spot something. I was sure I copy/pasted your code just how you had it. :/

Have you got your images in the right folder? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the code
