I have just seen another web site and the links down the bottom right (about CCJ's) seem to change randomly when the page is refreshed or revisited.

Do they do this with some server side stuff to randomly pick a set number of links from a list and display them or something?

heres the link
http://www.adverse-mortgage-centre.c...with-ccjs.html

Any one got any idea as I would like to add something like this to my site (when I have created more pages )

Thanks in advance

Links are in a database, they select random records to display.

Thanks for the replies

If they are in a database would this be done using a CMS like Joomla ?

I'm still reading up on it but from what I have read its a content mamanagement system - it handles the content on the pages and page layout via a database.

- why what do you think CMS is

Personally, this type of script is so simple, I would rather just code it. Do a search for rotating content php for some helpful stuff.

Lol.

It's easily accomplished, and wouldn't require too much work. Using a CMS for such a simple task would be overkill .
