Here is some code that i got from www.webcoder.com
---------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Randomly Generated Idea</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

// The Array Function

function makeArray(len) {
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) this[i] = null;
this.length = len;
}

// This is where the array of text/images/sounds is created.

ideas = new makeArray(4);
ideas[0] = "Type \"about:cache\" into your browser to find everything that
is stored in your cache.";
ideas[1] = "Type \"about:mozilla\" to get an odd message from the Netscape
team."
ideas[2] = "Hold down shift when pressing reload to clear a page\'s items
from cache."
ideas[3] = "Type \"view-source:\" preceding a document\'s URL to
automatically view its source."


// The random number generator.

function rand(n) {
seed = (0x015a4e35 * seed) % 0x7fffffff;
return (seed >> 16) % n;
}

var now = new Date()
var seed = now.getTime() % 0xffffffff

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

Today's Randomly Generated Idea is:
<P>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

// Where you place this is where the random object will be displayed.

document.write(ideas[rand(ideas.length)])
</SCRIPT>

</BODY>
</html>
----------------------------------------------

Hope this helps,
Matthew
