  I need something to display a random image from a selected directory with a short line of text. I intend to use it in a block on my PostNuke site.
  
  I will edit the images so they fit and supply the correct text in any manner necessary, I just need some type of existing PN block (I can't find one for Mediashare) that will show an image with a piece of text.
  
  I look forward to your suggestions.

  If you only have a few 'pages'
  
  Create a folder somewhere....
  Put your code for each 'page' in a file
  
  Call it "ammodump.txt"
  

  Code

  <img src="/yourdirectorylocation/images/pic_of_ammodump.jpg"
  < /br>
  AmmoDump is a handsome guy!

  
  
  No need to use headers and open HTML or anything just keep it simple.. just the meat and potatos of the code...
  
  Create the image folder and add the image to the folder.
  yourpagedirectory/images/
  
  Now create an HTML block in the PN admin panel.
  
  

  Code

  <!-- Begin
  var howMany = 3;  // the number of pages about ammodump
  var page = new Array(howMany+1);
  page[0]="ammodump.txt";
  page[1]="ammodump2.txt";
  page[2]="ammodump3.txt";
  function rndnumber(){
  var randscript = -1;
  while (randscript < 0 || randscript > howMany || isNaN(randscript)){
  randscript = parseInt(Math.random()*(howMany+1));
  }
  return randscript;
  }
  quo = rndnumber();
  quox = page[quo];
  window.location=(quox);
  // End -->

  
  
  Let us know what you are trying to do... how big...?
  
  The above is only theory... I did not test it, myself.

  Take a look at MultiImage. It displays random images with text.
