Is it possible to have random includes?  If I have three different pages, is it possible to have it randomly select one of the three pages?

 

 

Thank you,

Theoretically yes, you can use includes in your randomize function though all pages get always included, no matter what. You can put the content in a db field and query it that way.

Dim randomstring


Randomize


randomstring = INT(rnd()*10)


Do While randomstring > 3


randomize


randomstring = INT(rnd*10)


Loop


randomstring = "page" & randomstring & ".asp"


server.execute randomstring

Thank you.  I am still a but unsure how this code is put into a page and unsed.  I have my main page & would like to randonmly include 1 of the 3 files (a header ) into the main page.

So would I insert your code into the main page where I want one of the random <!--#include virtual="includes/header.asp" --> files to be place?

Thank you again!

Mart is using Server.Execute which has the advantage of using variables as a filename, that luxury you don't have with SSI includes. Just put his code to wherever you want the page to be executed.
