Multiple home pages in rotation
Hiya, Mozilla is absolutely superb. Anyone think that having a feature where you can select multiple home pages would be a good idea ? I'd like Mozilla to rotate on a new browser through a list of home pages, eg. news.com, oreillynet.com, mozilla.org, java.sun.com etc. etc. rather than just always being stuck with one home page all the time. :) _ Chris Newman [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.floor51.com ___ Sun Certified Java 2 Programmer ___ My secure email PGP key is at www.floor51.com/chrisnewman.asc

Re: Multiple home pages in rotation
Another possible solution that would work in most browsers is to write yourself a little HTML page and save it locally. In the page have some javascript that selects the 'home page' you want either randomly or based on the date/time. If you wanted to be really fancy you could save the page in the chrome and use a cookie to keep track of the 'homepage' you last visited so that you always get the next page in the sequence.

Couldn't you just put a line of javascript in there to pick a random number between 1 and n and then depending on the number display a different page? Bah, I'll just program it here... javascript:a = Math.round(Math.random() * 3);if (a == 1) { document.location="http://www.mozillanews.org";} else if (a == 2) { document.location="http://mozilla.org";} else { document.location="http://www.mozillazine.org";} Testing yeah it works.

Interesting. How would one go about putting such a script in one's Home location in Mozilla?

Or write a page with the above code and set it as your home page. Then you can continue to add more URLs and use it with any browser.
