Multiple Random Images JavaScript
Sometime back I was looking for a small script to display multiple random images from my gallery. After quick searching I decided that it’s better to code it myself. The main goals were
- to keep it small
- to make it easily plug-able
- to make it cross-browser
Features:
- the number of random images picked from the gallery, configurable
- custom CSS class
- alternate text for the images
- images can be hyper-linked to any content on the web
Cons:
The biggest drawback is SEO unfriendliness, as search engines won’t parse the JavaScript and will never see the content.
Requirement:
The images should be named sequentially (ex1.jpg, ex2.jpg, ex3.jpg, …).
Script:
Right click here and save the target file. View the demo HTML here.
