I m using a script for randomly calling a text on my page using

Code:

Math.floor(Math.random()*(quotes.length))

this code running perfectly when i click on my page or refresh it… is that possible to autorate the quotes after sometime

u can see the live example playbackgroup.com right panel in top box where quotes are coming

I think he means rotate. ie. Refresh the quote after a specified amount of time.

Code:

function rotateQuotes()
{
Math.floor(Math.random()*(quotes.length))
setTimeout(“rotateQuotes()”,100000);
}

At the moment you are just ouputting the quote from javascript using document.write – but you can’t change existing text using document.write, as it only adds contents to the page. You should really learn a DOM manipulation library like jQuery, it really makes doing this kind of thing a lot easier.

With jQuery your function might look like the following (including cssfreaks changes):

HTML:

Code:

What the world thinks?

Javascript:

Code:

function rotateQuotes() {
var whichquote = Math.floor(Math.random()*(quotes.length));
$(‘#quote’).html(quotes[whichquote]);
setTimeout(“rotateQuotes()”,100000);
}

By the way you can only have one <h1> per page, so you should really change those to h2 or h3.
