random bgcolor

hi!
how can i manage it (html or jscript with css) that everytime a user loads
or refreshes a page, the page has a new bgcolor.
i want to put it in a single file, so that all my pages have the same color,
but after every refresh a new random one.
thanx 4 your support

<body onload='changeBgClr()'>

This is illogical.
You just asked for a new colour at every load or refresh.

========

<script type='text/javascript'>

function toHex(x) {
switch(x) {
case 10: return "A";
case 11: return "B";
case 12: return "C";
case 13: return "D";
case 14: return "E";
case 15: return "F";
}
return x;
}
c='#'
c+= toHex(Math.round(Math.random()*16));
c+= toHex(Math.round(Math.random()*16));
c+= toHex(Math.round(Math.random()*16));
c+= toHex(Math.round(Math.random()*16));
c+= toHex(Math.round(Math.random()*16));
c+= toHex(Math.round(Math.random()*16));

//alert(c)
document.body.style.backgroundColor=c

</script>

You mean floor, not round; and there is the Opera bug that means that
Math.random can give 1.0.

The components can be concatenated in a single statement. But I'd use a
loop.

Or :

c = ( "00000" + Math.floor( (Math.random()%1)*Math.pow(16,6) ).
toString(16) ).substr(-6) // substr untested
or

c = ( "00000" + Math.floor( (Math.random()%1)*Math.pow(16,6) ).
toString(16) ).replace(/(.*)(.{6})$/, '$2')
or

c = ( Math.pow(16,6) + Math.floor( (Math.random()%1)*Math.pow(16,6) ) ).
toString(16).substring(1)

or

function Random(N) { return Math.floor(N*(Math.random()%1)) }

function f() { var x = Random(16) ; return x + 48 + 7*(x>9) }

c = String.fromCharCode(f(),f(),f(),f(),f(),f())
Remember to add the "#" !

Yes, did not see that.

I prefer a musical for modus operandi.

I knew you would say that, John, and you are right.

The question is if that would be as understandable to newbees.
