Displaying a random item of an XML file in an HTML page

[Stretchwickster]

Hi,

I've got an XML file which I am calling from an HTML page and it shows one item of the XML file at a time. I have controls to move forwards and backwards through the XML recordset. What I want to be able to do is randomly display a record each time the HTML page is opened/refreshed. Can anyone give me a clue as to how I can achieve this?

My current code is as follows:

<XML ID="Quotes" SRC="Quotes.xml"> </XML>
<TABLE ALIGN=center CELLPADDING="5" BORDER="0">
 <TR>
  <TD> <IMG SRC="PreviousButton.jpg" OnClick="Quotes.recordset.MovePrevious();
	  	if(Quotes.recordset.BOF)
        	  	Quotes.recordset.MoveNext()"> </TD>
  <TD> 
   <TABLE> 
    <TR><TD><B><SPAN DATASRC="#Quotes" DATAFLD="TEXT"></SPAN></B></TD></TR>
    <TR><TD></TD></TR>
    <TR><TD><B><SPAN DATASRC="#Quotes" DATAFLD="PASSAGE"></SPAN></B></TD></TR>
   </TABLE>
  </TD>
  <TD> <IMG SRC="NextButton.jpg" OnClick="Quotes.recordset.MoveNext();
	 	if(Quotes.recordset.EOF)
    			Quotes.recordset.MovePrevious()"> </TD>
 </TR>
</TABLE>
