Talk:Main Page

Javascript

I was thinking about a link to the chat on the front page. Included in this I wanted a javascript to show random quotes that have come from the chat room. Is this possible in the wiki? (I can post the script if you need me to). Also should/can we embed the chatroom on a page so it has a pilkipedia address?--Knockinabout 18:42, 1 April 2008 (BST)

i think the link is an excellent idea. and i don't understand anything else about what you've asked.  :) hopefully nigel does. Steve is King 23:27, 1 April 2008 (BST)

Tried to tidy the poster blurb. It looks good on a widescreen monitor but the big white space is still there on a square monitor.--WikiSysop 18:59, 2 April 2008 (BST)

Square monitor? People still have those? Losers.

Looks swish. Justjoe4life 19:12, 2 April 2008 (BST)

Here's an example of the random quote generator: http://short.bus.tripod.com/ The white text on that website will change when you refresh it. Here's the script that was used. Wiki-able? Or not worth the bother?

<script language="JavaScript">
var quotenumber = 8 ;
var randomnumber = Math.random() ;
var rand1 = Math.round( (quotenumber-1) * randomnumber) + 1 ;
quotes = new Array
quotes[1] = "dyslexics of the world, UNTIE"
quotes[2] = "how to make a living off of ignorant assumptions"
quotes[3] = "if you are fat, for the love of god DON'T WEAR A BELLY SHIRT"
quotes[4] = "home of king biscuit"
quotes[5] = "whip terrorism!"
quotes[6] = "beware"
quotes[7] = "that's not funny, corey"
var quote = quotes[rand1]
</script>
