Hey Im making a website that plays videos of the comedy show South Park, and I really like how www.stansdad.com has the random episodes to the right. Is there a script or something out there like this? Thanks alot.

Nope, but Im sure i can find a script to select a random image from a folder, but what I wouldnt be able to do if I cannot find the code, is having the link that matches with the image.

It's important that you make sure wherever you host your site that it will support the server side language you use. For example if you use PHP but your server doesn't have it installed ready for use then it's pointless.

Using PHP you can write a function that scans a directory and randomly pulls filenames and generates links. However, you'll probably need something a little more sophistocated than that to generate thumbnails to preview each episode.

What knowledge do you have of building websites and coding at the moment?
