    i need a way to do this

    im trying to find a way to have a section on my website that will randomly change a image every 15 seconds but i cant type a list of file names it has to beable to random get images from the directory it is in or from another directory of only images the reason for this i will be adding images and deleting them constantly with around 500 images i can use cgi or php if i have to but i dont know them that well so java would work best i think but all the ones i have found say that you have to type out a list of picturese that you want it to randomize im sure there is a way around it but i dont know java that well either thanks

    i would think that you could possible use asp also. i think that asp can be used to access a database wwhere the images can be stored and you can reference an index in the database instead of referencing a specfic image

    Just wanted to point out that punctuation helps a lot Dovaka. Your post is one long sentence and makes it hard to read.

    This would be an easy Java applet to make. I just don't know the nature of the image that you want displayed, so it's hard to tell if an applet would be ideal.

    they are all .jpeg files but im not sure how
    but i havent been able to find a java applet that works for what i need if you could write one for me that would be great
    all it has to do is reload an image every 10 seconds or so but my big problem is that i need it to randomly grab a picture from a directory with out me writing a list of file names for the pictures which is my big problem so far
