Hey guys, I'm making a website for a photographer... he's given me a large number of photos with which I have been editing and posting select ones on the front page. Though I want the lineup to turn out - change to a new random image everytime the page is refreshed.
I can't put a randomizer script on each image spot because I don't want the chance of having two or more instances of the same image in the 4 image lineup. I've seen a script that changes the order of images in a lineup and I had the idea to make a page with all of the images in the lineup with the lineup randomizer script and use a document-in-document to put it on the front page.
What is the best cross-browser way to do this? I know iframes are not too popular in some circles, so I didn't know if some browsers wouldn't pick it up right or something. I'm an IE guy and never really pay attention to cross-browser compatability problems.
