a very simple javascript to generate random quotes at any place of a webpage you want it to appear and any quote which you want to appear. Just insert this script in your webpage wherever you want the random quote to appear.
remember change quotes with yours

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
var Quotation=new Array() 
Quotation[0] = "Time is of the essence! Comb your 
hair.";
Quotation[1] = "Sanity is a golden apple with no 
shoelaces.";
Quotation[2] = "The image is more than an idea. It 
is a vortex or cluster of fused ideas and is endowed 
with energy. ~ Ezra Pound";
Quotation[3] = "Honesty blurts where deception 
sneezes.";
Quotation[4] = "Pastry satisfies where art is 
unavailable.";
Quotation[5] = "Image creates desire. You will 
what you imagine. ~ J. G. Gallimore";
Quotation[6] = "The image cannot be dispossessed 
of a primordial freshness, which idea can never 
claim. An idea is derivative and tamed. The image 
is in the natural or wild state, and it has to be 
discovered there, not put there, obeying its own 
law and none of ours. ~John Crowe Ransom";
Quotation[7] = "Wishes are like goldfish with 
propellors.";
Quotation[8] = "Love the river's \"beauty\", but live 
on a hill.";
Quotation[9] = "Invention is the mother of too 
many useless toys.";
Quotation[10] = "I want to know God's thoughts... 
the rest are details.~ Albert Einstein ";
// 
======================================
// Do not change anything below this line
// 
======================================
var Q = Quotation.length;
var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*
(Q-1));
function showQuotation(){document.write(Quotation
[whichQuotation]);}
showQuotation();
</script></p>

quotes can be increased but should be only 1 liners!

Very simple, yet cool javascript code. In case any one is interested I will breifly explain what is happining in the code. I gave you reputation for this useful code to the community!

1. First it makes a variable called "Quotation" and make it an array (an array is basically a variable that holds several variables.

2. Now it sets the different variables inside the array. Quotation[1] is the first variable inside the Quotation array, so you just increase the number to add another variable (which we are setting to contain quotes), so you could have 50 quotes if you wanted to!

Now the part that is a bit more complicated:

Quote:

var Q = Quotation.length;

3. This makes a new variable "Q" to be the number of variables in the array, in this case it would be 10.

Quote:

var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*
(Q-1));

4. This makes a new variable "whichQuotation". It uses the random command that is a part of the math functaions to, in simple words, randomly pick which variable, or quote, in the array to choose.

Quote:

function showQuotation(){document.write(Quotation
[whichQuotation]);}
showQuotation();

This makes a function "showQuotation". A function is basically a new command that once executed completes the commands inside of it, it is very helpful when doing the same operation multiple times. The function uses document.write to display the variable Quotation[whichQuotation]. Now whichQuotation is a variable that was set as a random number of one of the variable inside the array's numbers, therefore it actually shows on of the quotes (i.e. Quotation[3] could be the randomly picked on, so whichQuotation contains the number 3, so the 3 is put in its place and the variable is now Quotation[3], which is the third variable in the Quotation array. So the script would show the text "Honesty blurts where deception
sneezes.".)

If this was confusing to you, don't worry. Just copy and paste that to the spot in your website you want a random quote, then change the quotes to ones you want, or even things that aren't quotes, and it will work fine. You can change the number of quoates as well, by just adding in a new variables that goes up one, so if you wanted 1 extra quote the ones already there you would just add this after the end of the 10th quote:

Quotation[11] = "Your quote here";

yes... this one is simple and cool, i'm looking for these scripts for a week thanks...

Or you could just use the Math.Random object. Thats just what I use. That example seemed overly complicated.

My Attempt:

Code:

function Random_Note()
{
	var note = new Array(6)
	var Select = Random();
	note[0] = "Quote";
	note[1] = "Quote";
	note[2] = "Quote";
	note[3] = "Quote";
	note[4] = "Quote";
	note[5] = "Quote";
	document.getElementById('Random').innerHTML = "<b>" + note[Select] + "</b>";
	var Time = setTimeout("Random_Note()", 1500);
}
function Random()
{
    var Random_Number_Selection = Math.floor(Math.random()*6);
    return Random_Number_Selection;
}
