Hi Folks

On a Website I'm planning I've created a header/banner for the Site in two parts.

It's intended that the first part of the banner will remain constant, but the second part will be a photo of a staff member which will change from refresh to refresh/visit to visit.

I've seen a Javascript that will do this

But can CSS do the same (or is there a better script)?

Thanks

Don't think you can do it with CSS but can be done in PHP or ASP, which IMHO is better because you cna disable javascript.

It should be done with JavaScript or a server-side language. CSS is not a programming language so much as a contextual language.
