Hey everyone. I'm stuck on the very last bit of DL2, all because of a random image script. I've tried ALA's, along with Photomatt's, and both have worked but caused various problems in different browsers. It seems that the problem has to do with caching, as switching between pages & refreshing the page multiple times in FF & Opera will sometimes work, and other times stay the same regardless of page switching / times refreshed. I'm not sure if this is because it's located in the WP header or what, but I've had so much trouble with an image rotator.

Any ideas? I really don't want to use Javascript unless I have too

Regards!

Am i right in thinking that by the very nature of 'random' images - there will be a certain number of times where the same image is randomly selected on concurrent instances ??

There is a one in however many possibilities of that happening.

Certain methods of developing a random number are more prone to this I believe.
