Script to display an image selected at random from an array on page load
I'm using a script on the homepage of a website for a photographer which displays an image selected at random from an array. I have found two different scripts which perform this function. I'd like to know which script is preferable and if it has been written correctly or can be improved. I wonder if it is possible to include a function that would prevent the same image from loading twice until all of the images in the array have been used. Thanks for taking a look.
Version 1
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var theImages = new Array()
theImages[1] = 'portrait/fpo/01.jpg'
theImages[2] = 'portrait/fpo/02.jpg'
theImages[3] = 'portrait/fpo/03.jpg'
theImages[4] = 'portrait/fpo/04.jpg'
theImages[5] = 'portrait/fpo/05.jpg'
theImages[6] = 'portrait/fpo/06.jpg'
theImages[7] = 'portrait/fpo/07.jpg'
theImages[8] = 'portrait/fpo/08.jpg'
theImages[9] = 'portrait/fpo/09.jpg'
theImages[10] = 'portrait/fpo/10.jpg'
var j = 0
var p = theImages.length;
var preBuffer = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preBuffer[i] = new Image()
preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]
}
var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
function showImage(){
document.write('<img src="images/'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
}
// -->
</script>

Version 2
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

var xoxo = new Array(ic); // Array to hold filenames

xoxo[10] = "images/portrait/fpo/11.jpg"
function pickRandom(range) {
if (Math.random)
return Math.round(Math.random() * (range-1));
else {
var now = new Date();
return (now.getTime() / 1000) % range;
}
}
// Write out an IMG tag, using a randomly-chosen image name.
var choice = pickRandom(ic);

This code will load images randomly and his respective link to load.

Decided to make it an answer.
FYI... You're missing one of your pictures in the first version, fyi.
I would go with 2. 1 is loading all of the images up front (more useful if you'll be changing images, doing a slide-show type thing). So it uses more bandwidth and will make your page load slower.
2 looks fine but I might change pickRandom(ic) to pickRandom(xoxo.length) so you don't have to forget about updating ic as you add more images.
You would probably want either to create a cookie for the user (lastImageIndex) to loop through the items. If cookies aren't available, just use a random image. Otherwise, start at a random image. Then each time accessed with the cookie increment. When you reach the length, go back to 0.
function getCookieValue(choice){
// read cookie here, if found, parseInt(cookieValue,10) and assign to choice
// Then return choice (either original value or updated)
return choice;
}
var choice = pickRandom(xoxo.length);
choice = getCookieValue(choice);
// Check if it correspond to an image
if (choice >= xoxo.length) choice = 0;
// Store the cookie here. Store choice++
That description is slightly different than what you asked for, since its per user, but I'd bet it gives you more the result you are looking for.
