random background colors

[markfrmtls]

I am not totally a novice, but only have self-trained experience. I am looking for a way to randomly change the background color and text color with my web pages. 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 there4 is a script for this I would be truly grateful to learn how this would work. I have posted on the CSS/HTML forum with a similar question.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

I would prepare an array with allowed background colors and I would use Math.random * sizeOfArray on each page load to get index to that array, took and set color from it.

This way you can keep reasonable bg colors (pseudo) randomly selected.

I found a site with the math.object and many other scripts. I may have to learn JS. I do have a question as far as where I can insert the code. If I set up a script to run like you say. Can I insert it in the Style tag under the body property as a value. In other words ti might look like this:
<style> body background: <script>bgcolor.js</script>; </style>

I know that this code is not exactly correct, but will this work is the file is called correctly.

No that's incorrect. See this link which describes where to put your Javascript scripts.
