I'm looking for a random quote script for my website?

So I've got a very large numbered list of quotes. I want to set up a little text thing on my website's homepage so it displays a randomly selected quote from the list which changes every day. Can anyone write me a script to do this? I had one, but it stopped working and no one's been able to help me fix it (I've tried to get help with that more times than I care to remember) and I decided that it would be better to just get a new script.

I have a random script, but it also seems to not be working the way it was originally written, it now outputs a number 1 along with the intended output.
Take a peek here, there is a rotator script I am about to use on a site I am workng on.

Suggestions for simple random image script

Would like to randomly display one of five new JPG banner each time page is loaded.
Your experience would be appreciated.
Thanks

Since no one replied, I am posting solution I found.for future inquiries.
Simple PHP Random Image Script
This can be done in one line of text directly in your HTML and a collection of images.
The first step is to gather together the images you wish to have randomly rotated.
Change all of their file names to a numerical order, starting with the number 1.
    * 1.jpg
    * 2.jpg
    * 3.jpg
    * 4.jpg
Be sure each image has the same extension (either all jpg, png, or gif),
and that there are no gaps in the numbers.
Also, place these images in their own folder to keep everything organized.
Write the Code
In the HTML of your page, insert the following code where you want an image to display:
<img src="path/<?php echo rand(1,n);?>.jpg" alt="Random Image" />
The “rand” operator will display a randomly generated number between 1 and ‘n’.
Change ‘n’ to the total amount of pictures you have arranged numerically
(or the highest numbered picture you have).
In the example above I only have 4 pictures, therefor I would change it to: rand(1,4);

Hi Purple Edge,
it would be great if you could figure out a way to determine file size before attempting an upload.
PHP can only access file data (e.g. size) after it´s been uploaded -- one would have to use Flash for this, as this technology is indeed capable to check such data immediately.

A simple script for you, a giant script for me-

I like scripts very much but scripting does not seems to like me! Can anyone help me and write a script for me? What I need is this:
1. Ungroup everything in a spread
2. A loop that goes through every text frame in the spread and, at the end of the text contained in each of those frames inserts a blank paragraph. (The frames contains text and inline graphics)
This may seems strange but is what I need.
Best regards and thank you in advance
Maria

I like scripts very much but scripting does not seems to like me! Can anyone help me and write a script for me? What I need is this:
It's much easier for you to show us what you have and then we'll fix it for you or tell you what is wrong. Then you'll learn something to!
1. Ungroup everything in a spread
This one's easy -- unless you're worried about groups inside groups?
app.activeWindow.activeSpread.groups.everyItem().ungroup()
If it's groups all-the-way-down, on the other hand, well, it might be more than one line...

Chris, have you googled on XML and weather conditions? I
think you also could find more detailed information through weather
dot com by looking down for "developers" if I remember this
correctly. But you can take a look at weather-related websites and
they usually give you pretty much fundmental self-explantory simple
instructions on how to set it up on your website.

Script for "random quote"

Can anyone please point me at a javascript that will display
a random quote
when the page is loaded?

You miss the point bonehead. What I meant was, surely amongst
this vast
experienced community, some of these coders have experience
with a script as
requested; I was asking for pointers to those specifically,
as it would have
been about as much typing to say "go to www.whatever.com to
look at this one
I've used" as to type "do a google search for it". Don't need
anyone to do
any work for me, just point me at scripts you've had actual
experience at.

NX-OS EEM script for SVI

Hello,
I'm looking for a simple eem script for enabling an SVI if its goes down. we have some issue is NX-OS running 6.0.2.(1) where we occure a SVI down for itself.
Regard
Adil

Unfortunately, this is not possible on NX-OS. EEM on NX-OS is EEM by name only. The feature is very different than it is on IOS. What you could do is use an IOS box as a proxy. That is, send a trap using EEM from your NX-OS box, then have IOS do the telnet to the other NX-OS box to perform the necessary commands.

Script for Free Space in Datafiles

Hi
Got the below script from metalink [130866.1] to identify free space within a data file.Couple of questions
1)Is dba_Free_Space an exact indicator of how much space is available in a file.
2) What is the significance of using blocks in vs using bytes.

select block_id, block_id+blocks max_block

Script for packing list

Hi All,
i got this following requiring requirement for the modifying a script for packing list,
this is the logic i have to include:
b.     Remove the carton ID & box ID from the print out, the line item should just print the total delivery quantity, do not split the printing by different box ID or carton ID.
<b>i.     Delivery Item= LIPS-POSNR
ii.     Delivery Qty for Item = LIPSD-G_LFIMG= LIPSD-PIKMG</b>
<b>c.     Add Total Boxes for each item, this should be a calculation field for each material HUMV4-MATNR, count how many handling unit VEKPVB-EXIDV has been used to pack the same material , output the total boxes for each delivery item.
</b>d.     <b>Add Gross Weight for each item , retrieve data from LIPS-BRGEW</b>
e.     Add Net weight to the print out, below the gross weight retrieve data from LIKP-NTGEW
f.     For Net Weight & Gross Weight all convert to KG before output on the print out
can any body help me what the exact bussiness flow i have to follow and any necessary hints on this
Message was edited by:

Hi Ram,
You have to take the help of the functional consultant also and take the printout of the existing form for the packing list and note down all the changes to be done on the hard copy taken first.
then search in the script for the respective windows and for the respective fields in textelements of the script
One delivery may have multiple Handling Units
the link is VEPO-VBELN = LIPS-VBELN
from HU item table VEPO take the delivery no and link it with LIPS and LIKP table
What I understood is In Packing list the present data is coming from Delivery
but they wants to print certain things based on delivery and certain based on Handling Unit data
1.Remove the HU number from the print(Box id)-VEKP-EXIDV
2.Qty is printing based on HU remove that
now just print the qty based on delivery(sum of all items LIPS-LFIMG)
3. Add total boxes for each item(means no of HU's for each Delivery)
4. Take the Item wise gross weight from LIPS (brgew)
5.Take netweight from LIKP
6.Convert the unit of the Weight to KG
using a fun module UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE
There may be already data fetching from the respective tables in the script check for the same and use
Otherwise to write the code you have to use the external subroutines to write some small program if extra coding is required to get the data from other tables
Hope this helps
Regards
Anji

A script for setting a random wallpaper

I've cooked up this small bash script for changing the wallpaper to a random one from a specified directory (it is recursive)
The script tries to be smart in determining whether the wallpaper should be scaled, centered or tiled.
Just configure it and try it out.
Anyway, here goes:

# Configuration
# Wallpaper directory
wpDir="$HOME/Wallpapers"

#wpSkip=("Dir1/" "Dir2/")
# Scale images that have a lower resolution than that of the screen (yes or no)
scaleLowerRes="yes"
#scaleLowerRes="no"
# Screen resolution
resWidth=1280
resHeight=800
# Command for tiling the wallpaper
cmdTile="feh --bg-tile"
#cmdTile="nitrogen --set-tiled --save"OA
#cmdTile="xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-style -s 2 && xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/screen0/monitor0/image-path -s"

I did something similar a couple of months ago, but instead of attempting to be clever and guessing what the background image is supposed to be, I just write it in the filename. Since some pictures just end up being too bright (or whatever) when used as a background to a urxvt terminal, I added some extra parameters for setting gamma, brightness, tint and the direction the image should be rendered. It relies on hsetroot for actually rendering the picture.
#!/usr/bin/python
# set-background
import sys, os, string, re
patterns = [ (re.compile("t-([a-f\d]+)"), lambda x: "-tint \#" + x)
, (re.compile("b-([\d]+)"), lambda x: "-brightness -0." + x)
, (re.compile("g-([\d]+)"), lambda x: "-gamma "+ x)
, (re.compile("f-(v|h|d)"), lambda x: "-flip" + x)
def buildCommand(file):
output = ["hsetroot"]
output.append("-" + (string.split(file,".")[-2]))
output.append(file)
for token in string.split(file,".")[1:-2]:
for (pat,f) in patterns:
if pat.match(token):
output.append( f(pat.findall(token)[0]))
return string.join(output)
print buildCommand(img)
os.system(buildCommand(img))
# vim:set et:
So for instance, an image with the name background.t-704214.f-v.full.jpg would be rendered as a stretched image, flipped vertically with a sepia tint. The files are required to be in the following format NAME.(MODIFIER.)*TYPE.SUFFIX, where the the order and number of modifiers are unimportant. The gamma values are somewhat unintuitive, but I guess you'll just have to play around with it to get it right.
And to randomize the whole thing, I just used the following script in my .xinitrc to randomly pick a image from a folder.
#!/bin/bash
bg_folder="$HOME/.backgrounds";
pics=($(ls $bg_folder))
let "n = $RANDOM % ${#pics[@]}"
(cd $bg_folder; set-background ${pics[$n]})

- Looking for Drop Down menu script w/ semi-transparent backgrounds...

Looking for a dropdown menu script that will allow
semi-transparent
backgrounds (so we can partly see what the list is displaying
over).
I've Googled this to death using all the obvious keywords,
but have yet to
find what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Yes. I understand and agree. Good point.
Thanks.

I'm looking for a random quote script for my website?
