I am using this jQuery slider as a way to run through ads for a clients site and since I didn't think of randomizing at first I am facing the issue now. Also I didn't keep the link to the slider and i don't have the documentation (I know what the heck was I thinking). I am hoping someone can help me to randomize these ads. Here is the code:

<!-- Ad Slider -->
<script type=\"text/javascript\">

function theRotator() {
	//Set the opacity of all images to 0
	$('div#adrotator ul li').css({opacity: 0.0});
	
	//Get the first image and display it (gets set to full opacity)
	$('div#adrotator ul li:first').css({opacity: 1.0});
		
	//Call the rotator function to run the slideshow, 6000 = change to next image after 6 seconds
	setInterval('rotate()',8000);
	
}

function rotate() {	
	//Get the first image
	var current = ($('div#adrotator ul li.show')?  $('div#adrotator ul li.show') : $('div#adrotator ul li:first'));

	//Get next image, when it reaches the end, rotate it back to the first image
	var next = ((current.next().length) ? ((current.next().hasClass('show')) ? $('div#adrotator ul li:first') :current.next()) : $('div#adrotator ul li:first'));	
	
	//Set the fade in effect for the next image, the show class has higher z-index
	next.css({opacity: 0.0})
	.addClass('show')
	.animate({opacity: 1.0}, 1000);

	//Hide the current image
	current.animate({opacity: 0.0}, 1000)
	.removeClass('show');
	
};

$(document).ready(function() {		
	//Load the slideshow
	theRotator();
});

</script>
<!-- End Ad Slider -->

Of course there is always a different slider I can use, but since I have this one set up I figured it was worth a shot to see if it was possible with this one. If anything else is needed please let me know, and TIA!
