I replied before all the emails came in ;-)
You obviously already had the idea of background: url(../hdrs/header.cfm);

So if I had a directory full of images named in sequence like...

img01.jpg, img02.jpg, img03.jpg etc... through img20.jpg...

And I wanted header.cfm to feed these images randomly then id just use this
cfcontent tag

<cfcontent type="image/jpeg"
file="d:\path\to\image\files\img#numberformat(randrange(1, 20), '00')#.jpg">

Then I could just use <img src="header.cfm">

Or in your case...

background: url(..hdrs/header.cfm);

of course it depends on the images being named in sequence, else you would
just cfdirectory and filter everything but images then choose a random image
from there for the "file" attribute of the cfcontent tag

If you used cfdirectory, Id personally store the results in a persitant
scope like session or application and only run cfdirectory when that
variable is empty just to save on the overhead.

Good luck

Subject: Quick CF & CSS question.

I've got this line of code in a CSS file (default.css).

        background: url(../_hdrs/header1.jpg);

I'd like to change it to have a random image generated using something like
this

        background:
url(../_hdrs/header<cfoutput>#DayOfWeek(Now())#</cfoutput>.jpg);

How can I do this with a CSS file? Can this be done w/o changing the
extension to .cfm?

Thanks, Che
