Help - how do I make random images not random? Erm...

Hello

I can't quite work out how to do this. Below is some really basic code to randomize images on one of my asp pages.

However, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it. Any help appreciated!

Cheers

<%

limit=3

redim link(limit)

redim image (limit)

link(1)="xxx"

image(1)="image1.jpg"

link(2)="xxx"

image(2)="image2.jpg"

link(3)="xxx"

image(3)="image3.jpg"

randomize

random=int(rnd*limit)+1

%>

<center>

<a href="<%= link(random) %>">

<img src="<%= image(random) %>" border="0"></a>

Well, I can't help you with the ASP portion, but I can help you with a few things.

1. From what little bit I can see, you're XHTML isn't valid. <center> is a deprecated element. Also, <img> tags need to end with a forward space, followed by a forward slash and need to include an "alt" attribute (alternate text) in case the page doesn't load.. <img src="pic.gif" alt="pic.gif" />

2. You'd get a better response for this in the proper forum (ASP Development). This forum is for people to put working code samples in for other people's benefit. Message a moderator and see if they'll move it for you.

3. Please don't forget to wrap your codes in [ code][ /code] tags.

Do you mean something like this?

Code:



<%

limit=3

f = request.querystring("f")

if f = "" then

  f = 0

else

 f = cInt(f)

end if



if f > cInt(limit) then

  response.write "Error: Image does not exit"

  response.end

end if



if f = 0 then

  redim link(limit)

  redim image (limit)



  link(1)="xxx"

  image(1)="image1.jpg"



  link(2)="xxx"

  image(2)="image2.jpg"



  link(3)="xxx"

  image(3)="image3.jpg"



  randomize

  random=int(rnd*limit)+1

 

else

  random = f

end if

%>

--moved to the ASP forum.
