How to do a random banner change

[iwics2]

Is there a way that DW 8 can set up random images...ie, every time a viewer
returns to the home page I want the banner to change, I have 5 or 6 different
banners available for this. I know there's some code out there, but surely DW 8
can do this simply - but how, I don't know.

How to?

Thanks

There are all kinds of widgets and scripts, depending on how
sophisticated you want to be and what kind of hosting you're on.

- Javascript: client side, server-agnostic, lots of scripts available
- I think there's some kind of ASP(.Net) widget for banner rotation
- ASP/VBScript OR PHP: There's all kinds of scripts available

These scripts will run anywhere from simple (randomly pick 1 of N) to
deeply configurable (set a cookie to avoid repeats; pick depending on
time of day; ...). Some will set background images; others will insert
an <img > tag, or change its source. Some can change a banner during a
visit.

Search the archives of this group, or do a web search for something like
'[scripttype] banner rotation'

How about a slightly simpler form? I need to sub in different lines of text
(quotations) on different pages in a DW site. I'm pulling my hair out trying
to find the right search terms for a javascript. Is there a way to do this in
DW8? I've found some js for banners, but they're too specific to images--I
just need simple text swapouts.

Anyone?

is about the closest to what I was looking for...I am very surprised that DW 8
doesn't have this as there is a simple way to do this in GoLive CS.

Not sure if the hypergurl link was meant for me or iwics, but thank you very much. It's exactly what I needed.

Best,
