How bout I go about creating a section on my site that displays a random image, lets say:
1) every time the page is refreshed
2) in a certain amount of mins or hrs the pic changes
3) daily, monthly and so on?
Would I need a database of some sort or can it just be done with some asp code?
We have the need to have a random token (a 16 char alphanumeric field) to be used as the key for one of our SQL tables. I have created a random token generator, however after only 3 months in production, it appears that we had an instance where a token that already existed in the tables was created. There are 3810 records currently in the database so it isn't like there are billions of records there.
I contacted an old college buddy of mine who is a mathematician, and he claims, assuming that random really does mean random, that the chances of getting a duplicate token are 1 in 79.5 septillion (79,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So my conclusion is that this was either a complete freak of nature occurance, or my random generator isn't really all that random. Here is the code behind how I am generating this: Code:
So we use the Randomize function and Rnd to make a random number. Well my numbers can hardly be called random. So I have to ask is those two functions dependent on the web server? The web server sucks so much that it cant generate new Random numbers?
How Random is this?

2006-05-14 20:01:37 You picked a 2 of Diamonds
2006-05-14 20:01:38 You picked a 2 of Diamonds
And then I added a Session function which takes the Number generated and make sure that it doesnt happen twice in a Row. But then it just switches between two values.

2006-08-09 13:55:37 You got hit by 11276
2006-08-09 13:55:39 You recieved 88515m³ Ice.
If I had'nt had the Session function it would simply be "2006-08-09 13:55:12 You got hit by 11276" 4 times in a row or something.
So I ask myself what is wrong? Is it the server or is it faulty programming on my side?
iOre = Int(30000 * Rnd + 5000)
If IsEmpty(Session("OreRandom")) = False then
DO WHILE Session("OreRandom") = iOre
Randomize
iOre = Int(30000 * Rnd + 5000)
LOOP
End If
Session("OreRandom") = iOre
I think most of you have run into the problem of generating random cards (shuffling them) in almost every programming language. If not here is your chance .Now I want to try this in ASP. Ya ya I know WHY ASP...because I want a challenge and want to see how you people would think of doing it.
---------------------------
Rules To Develope:
---------------------------
- 40 cards
- 4 different suits
- each suit 10 cards with number 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
All it has to do is generate an ASP page listed with the randomly generated cards.
Does anyone know how to code in a very simple random number generator?
Basically, my ASP site is linked to an SQL d/base. What I want to do is have a "Random quote of the day"... the R.N.G. should spit out a number, and that number references the random_quote_ID in the d/base and spits it out.
I have the following function which generates random strings:
function GenerateRandomStr(nLen, skipRandomize)
dim i, strTmp
if not skipRandomize then Randomize
strTmp = vbNullString
for i = 1 to nLen
strTmp = strTmp + Chr(fix(26 * Rnd) + 65)
next
GenerateRandomStr = strTmp
end function
But it is so happening that it is generating duplicate string which is causing the system to fail. Can anyone tell me why it is behaving in that way??
I design auction templates and I need a way for my buyers to be able to fill out a form, click submit, and have a preview of the HTML template come up as well as the HTML coding so they can copy & paste it into their auction listing. Does that make sense?

i'm looking for a free image gallery generator in ASP 3 on ASP+. I've already looked on sourceforge.net but no one seems to fit my needs which include:
- admin area to create/destroy galleries,
- upload/remove images,

I have done random image display with the help suggestion from this discussion form. now I want to provide link on each image. i.e. all the images display randomly, should have different link. is it possible? if yes, how?

I have the below ASP function to display a random image from a folder.
<%
Function RandomImage(strPath)
Randomize()
If Right(strPath, 1) <> Chr(47) Then strPath = strPath & Chr(47)
strPhysical = Server.MapPath(strPath)
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:Inetpubwwwrootpag-siteimages
andoms")
Set objFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in objFiles
strFile = LCase(objFile.Name)
strFiles = strFiles & strFile & vbTab
Next
strImages = Split(strFiles, vbTab)
If UBound(strImages) > 1 Then
RandomImage = strPath & strImages(Int(Rnd(1)*UBound(strImages)))
End If
End Function
%>
and this places the image in the HTML
<img name="Intropic" src="<%=RandomImage("images/randoms/")%>" width="211" height="158" alt="" />
but sometimes the script places a ._ before the image file name in the outputted HTML?
If I want a webpage to display a random image from about 20 images and not want the user's computer to load all 20 images and sacrafise the load time, can I use the following script? Is the following a good approach? Code:

Randomize
Dim intImageNumber
intImageNumber = Int((NUMBER_OF_IMAGES * Rnd) + 1)
%>
<html><body>
<img
src= "images/header<%= intImageNumber %>.jpg"
width = "760"
height = "104"

</body></html>
i have some code that displays a random image... and i have some code that refreshes a page ever x seconds. great.

I want to provide random image on my asp page. the image will display according to products searched by user.
e.g.
if user enter pharma machine in search box, in result page the banner of pharma company will display. i.e. the banner of manufaturer/exporter of pharma machine will display.
for this i have comapny info table in database
table: comapny_info
fields in comapny_info:
company_name
products (comapny products)
description (company_description)
banner (yes/no)
dusring registration, comapny has to specify whether it wants banner or not. so if there is yes in banner and prodcuts match the search string then banner will display.
this is according to the product seaarched by user.
any idea?
I am currently looking for a script similar to A List Apart Article Random Image Rotation. Unfortunately my clients host does not support PHP. I want to randomly rotate 3 images in the header section each time the page loads.
As it's only 3 images, I could turn to javascript, but then I would need to include that in every page. The header part of the site is an #include file, so I was thinking I wanted to do something like this.. Code:

View Replies View Relatedi want to display images in my search result page according to search text enetered by user. and i want more than one images display randomly.
View Replies View RelatedOn my index page I have got an area for one product to be displayed randomly from the
database. I have got it workign, but there is one problem i cant get my head around, here is the code so far:
' Initialize ASP RND() function
Randomize()
intRandomNumber = Int (1000*Rnd)+1
strsql = "SELECT TOP 1 art_Artist, art_Title, Rnd(" & -1 * (intRandomNumber) & "*cat_ID)" &_
"FROM eventDisplay " &_
"ORDER BY 3"
The code above isnt working and its when i try and draw out more that one value, as in art_Artist and art_Title.
It works fine if all I want is art_Artist, but as i said when i try to draw out more than one value the randomize function doesnt work.
This Random image script gets an image out of a folder so NO database is needed, just create a subfolder for your images and upload to your server ...

I'm getting ready to start design on a random name generator. Basically a user would type in their first and last name and it would generate a random name pulling from a database. My question is this, what would be the best way to pull the random name? I was thinking of maybe just grabbing say the third letter of the first and last name and then matching them to a name, but I thought this would create to many duplicates. Maybe somebody out there can point me in the right direction.

I am a web programmer and I have recently been involved in developing my first ASP.NET application written in C#. I am looking for a code generator to help me to implement the skeleton of the application.
I tried to search on the Internet and found a few, but none of them generate the stored procedures, the data access layer and the business layer. Can someone suggest me a good and bug-free code generator so I can focus on implementing the business rules rather than writing stored procedures and developing logic to load and save the data?
