Hello, <br />
<br />
I have a death logs for a mud I play at set up. Now. since it is a pk death logs... I want to be able to have a window that pop up whenever a user come to my site. In it will be a room description.. something to add to the effect of the site. Something like this...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
SLAUGHTERED BY NATIVES<br />
As you approach the shoreline, the natives begin to jabber excitedly and<br />
splash out to meet you. As they drag you ashore kicking and screaming, you<br />
realize your instincts were correct, they are NOT friendly at all. Your<br />
last thoughts are of home as dozens of spears plunge into your body.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It would be of course in a window that fit the texts.. and the window would be center align, and perhap have a background of my choice? (was thinking of a tombstone look-alike background). I want the windows to pop up random room description that I have created... so they get something new every time they come.<br />
<br />
My question is, could anyone able to help me code this up? Is this even possible?<!--content-->It's possible, PH. Just not necessarily very easy. <br />
<br />
It can be done in Java script, using alerts, but I'm not sure how the random parts of the script are generated.<br />
<br />
You might want to take a look around Webmonkey (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webmonkey.com">http://www.webmonkey.com</a><!-- m -->) for some Java script tutorials. I think it's part of the Java script tutorials, but don't quote me on it. *g* At the time I noticed it, I wasn't looking for what they were trying to teach me.<br />
