Random Background color with CSS

4 New Member
I am not totally a novice with css, but only have self-trained experience. I am looking for a way to randomly change the background color and text color with css. My thought is to put a counter on my home page and every even number on the counter the background color will be yellow and every odd number the colors will change to something else. If this is possible with css only I would be truly grateful to learn how this would work. I am afraid that I will have to use some perl or java script to make this work. If this is true could you point me to the proper location to find this information.

Thanks for any help.

I remember there is a programming language where you can initialize the random number generator, so that it can - if you want - give you the exactly same sequence of random numbers every time you initialize it with the same parameter. Can this be done with JavaScript? I couldn't find anything in the documentation. Basically, what I want to achieve is to obtain always the same sequence of random numbers for the same given initialization...

I am trying to swap/rotate random flash banners using the following Javascript code. I have 3 flash headers/banners. I can get it to open a page with a random header using document.write(randomHeader) in the chooseHeader() function, but the rest of the page doesn't get displayed with that approach. Instead, what I would like to do is comment the document.write(randomHeader) line, and use the random reference I have in the table cell...

I am trying to set up an Image authorization where you type in the value that is in a picture to log on to our site. I found a program that is supposed to do it, but it doesn't seem to work. It should put a blue and yellow box on the page with "This is a test" as part of the picture. But what I get is a broken Gif. The other problem is that I can't view the source???? The view source is disabled for this page. What causes this?
