Aahh, fair enough. I'm having to design this for somebody else to
maintain (someone with little coding knowledge) and I guessed just
having one file would be easier than having two. I'll ask their
opinion.
But thank you for everything. :-D

Ooh, Scott, I'm so sorry, I've just realised a problem.
Since the path to the 'facts' directory is relative, it only works for
'parent' HTML files on the one level. I have a homepage at the root
level (eg: keep/default.htm), and then various other pages one level
further in (eg: keep/why/default.

As a side-note: Am I being really picky here, or could the contents of
facts.js and custom.js be combined into one file? Seems a shame to
have a whole separate javascript file containing just one line of
code.

My fault. Try:
var fact = facts[Math.floor(facts.length * Math.random())];
not var fact = facts[Math.floor(facts.size * Math.random())];

You can now find all of the files here - http://zarino.zappia.co.uk/keep/

How come the javascript governing which file-name to choose isn't
working? Also, does the path in the jQuery .load event have to be
relative to that javascript file, or the 'parent' html file?
The path should be relative to the HTML page, not the Javascript.
If that doesn't work
Wow, Scott, that's thorough!
The third method seems the most plausible. I've tried to implement it,
but the fact snippets don't appear in the 'factholder'. Safari tells
me there's an error loading the page, and I see that it's tried to
load the file "website/facts/undefined.html" (instead of "web

Wasted bandwidth! T
Thanks guys!

Let's say you want to scroll some facts or quotes or customer testamonials across the screen, but you also want to start at a random one.
That sort of thing. Or scrolling images.
Oh, I can see plenty of reasons for choosin
psuedo code:
var totalDivLength = $("div").length;
var randomnumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*totalDivLength)
$("div")[randomnumber].show()
Scott, I can think of a couple reasons for this.
