Random header-image

[bart]

Is it possible to generate a random number in a template?

I need a number between 1 and 10 like in rand(1,10) to add to the header-image-url (in the header-template or in the header-css). Can it be done through javascript maybe?

What would be a good way to do it?

That works!

As for me, to get a random image out of seven I use:

<xen:if is="!{$rand}">
<xen:set var="$rand">{xen:calc '({$serverTime} % 7) + 1'}</xen:set>
</xen:if>

<div id="header" style="background:http://..../images/header_{$rand}.jpg)">

Thanks.
