A question for those who are HTML adepts
« on: October 31, 2005, 12:36:00 PM »
I am making this site about strange facts of life and Iwant to add an option where you can access a list of 5 facts, which are randomly chosen from a list. The visitors are supposed to do it with the push of a button.

The problem is that I don't know how to do it. Can anyone here help me?

HTML is static so you'll need something that can generate dynamic data, such as PHP. You could try it in Javascript, but since ~10% of web surfers have it disabled it's a suboptimal choice.
