Random font

[music_man]

Hi

Is it possible to have a random font some text?

E.g.

<font face=(random)>text</font>

As well as size?

Thanks

First, you'll need to create an array of font names.

<?php

$fonts = array("arial", "verdana", "tahoma");

?>

Then you'll need to randomly select which to use in the font tag.

<font face="<?php echo $fonts[rand(0,2)]; ?>" size="<?php echo rand(5,10); ?>">Some Text</font>

That code will select a random font (arial is at index 0, verdana at index 1, etc..) and also select a random size from 5 to 10.

No no noOoOooo - Listen to the Weed, font is bad - why not have something that just outputs a link to a different css stylesheet each time.

You can actually load many up and once, and then choose one to be active with javascript

<link href="bits/swapSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" title="farshoop" type="text/css" />
<link href="bits/swapSheet2.css" rel="alternate stylesheet" title="pudding" type="text/css" />
<script>
something = 0;

function toggle_it()
{
	if (something)
	{
		document.styleSheets[0].disabled = true;
		document.styleSheets[1].disabled = false;
		something = 0;
	}
	else
	{
		document.styleSheets[0].disabled = false;
		document.styleSheets[1].disabled = true;
		something = 1;
	}
}
// -->
</script>

You can have 2nd style sheets load up automatically disabled by specifying rel="alternate stylesheet" and
for Fox HAVE to give a title
