Hi,

I have ten different ASP pages, that I would like to display randomly.

I did try to modify this code that I did find online but, there is an error, it just display this on my page:

'random' 10.asp'

What should I change in my code to make it work?

I hope to receive news from you soon.

<?php
randomize 
dim textRandomNmumber
textRandomNmuber = rnd*10
textRandomNmuber = int(textRandomNmuber)+1
?>

<?php
response.write "random"&textRandomNmuber&".asp"
?>

Hi Simon,

I'm not an ASPer, but... when I ran your code (using document.write() instead of response.write), I got "randomX.asp" where X was the random number. If you are attempting to load the random page, I would presume you need something to tell it to load. Something like:
window.location="random"&textRandomNmuber&".asp"

I hesitated to reply because I don't have my ASP books here at work, so I can't give a detailed answer. But I think you need to put textRandomNmuber through a function to change it from a number into a string. Something like this:

<?php
Filename = "random" & Str(textRandomNmuber) & ".asp"
?>

Str() may be the wrong function name, but there's something (in ASP or VBasic) along these lines for this kind of type conversion. You can either look it up, or maybe some kind forum member will post it here .

CStr() may be the function your refering to, Karin.

But I don't see why you need to convert number to a string... Your appending it to something. Why should ASP/VB care if your appending a str or int?

Simon,

Your code should work fine. Remember if you want the random ASP page to load you'll have to use:

<?php
 Response.Redirect "random" & textRandomNmuber & ".asp" 
?>
