tips and tricks for movable type
random blog descriptions
September 22, 2002
A twist on the Random Page Titles Javascript: insert random blog descriptions instead!
Where I had this code in my templates:
<$MTBlogName$><br />
<span class="description"><$MTBlogDescription$></span>
</div>
I put this instead (key change in color):
<$MTBlogName$><br />
<span class="description">
<script TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--//
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) {
var num = 5;
var ttl = new Array(num+1);
ttl[1] = "I love Brad Pitt!";
ttl[2] = "I love Mark Wahlberg!";
ttl[3] = "I love Chris Cagle!";
ttl[4] = "I love Movable Type!";
ttl[5] = "I love Learning New S**t!";
ranNumber = parseInt(num * Math.random() + 1);
document.write(ttl[ranNumber]);
}
//-->
</script>
</span>
</div>
Thanks to Ben for posing the question that generated this Trick in the original thread!
