Create a variable link

Hi,

I must begin to say that I'm rather new in wtiting and using JavaScript. Now
I want to use JavaScript in a HTML-page. On the homepage is a link. Every
time the homepage is displayed the link must point to another target. I want
to realize this by having a lot of differet targetpages. The names of these
pages are p1001.htm until p<nnnn>.htm. At this moment the last is p1153.htm,
but the amount is increasing every day.
I have a file named "counter.tx t" which contains one line with the string of
the last targetpage, at his moment "1153".

My idea is to have a JavaScript which:
1. reads the file counter.txt to determine the last available page
2. then takes at random one number between 1001 and 1153,
3. sets the HREF-link to page p<random>.htm.

I know it must be possible in JavaScript, but can anyone help me?

Thanks,

I have a menu that I use on my Intranet app, and while I did try to replace it recently, I ended up going back to it. It's built entirely with javascript, and works great.

That is, I might have a link which is worded "Add to this ticket" and the hyperlink associated with that text is along the lines of...

I have heard that it is possible to use classes + template magic to make standalone functions (or maybe just a functor which acts like a function) which can accept variable length arguments without using the elipse. For example, a funciton could take in 1 known type, then a variable list of other parameters: ReturnValueClass rvc = someFunction("Some known type", 1, 0.2, "string"); ReturnValueClass rvc2 = someFunction("Some known type...

Ok I have a Javascript slideshow working. Every image is linked to a another page in the site. Problem is...The link wont refresh to the next link once the second images rollovers in the slideshow. It only stays at the first images link. Is this a cache issue? Or is there anyway to create a random number to trick this or make it work properly. I'm very raw with Javascript so I'm having trouble figuring this out. Thank you in advance

Does the length of my C variable names have any affect, performance-wise, on my final executable program? I mean, once compiled, etc., is there any difference between these two: number = 3; n = 3; I know its setting aside storage for the variable itself; does it also use up more storage if the variable name is longer? I realize it would probably take quite a lot of long variable names to make any impact if so, but I was just curious...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
