Changing random quote display to sequential 1

[suoiduts]

I have a site that currently uses JavaScript to randomly display a quote from an array of quotes each time the page is loaded. However, since this often results in the same quote being displayed several times in a row, I have decided that I would rather just cycle through the quotes in the array sequentially rather than randomly. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this and I can't seem to find any sample code that will point me in the right direction. Any suggestions?

You could look into using a cookie. Set the value of the cookie on initial visit to the site, then increase the value of the cookie for each page load - and use that as the index for your array lookup. You can use the mod (%) operator to ensure you don't go out of bounds.

Do some research, try some stuff for yourself... and come back if you have any problems.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Thanks Jeff, a cookie was the answer.
