Hi All,
I'm working on a banner manager program and I seem to be having a problem
getting a true random number. It seems that some of the banners pop up more
frequently than others. Here is the code I am using. Is there something
better I could be using to generate a random number or is this as good as it
gets?
<cfquery datasource="#Attributes.DataSource#" name="q_banners">
SELECT BannerAdID
FROM BannerAds
WHERE Active = 1
</cfquery>
<cfset variables.bid = ListGetAt(ValueList(q_banners.BannerAdID),
andRange( 1, ListLen(ValueList(q_banners.BannerAdID))))>
TIA,
Duane Boudreau
