Displaying Random Quotes
Ever wanted to display a random line of text each time a page is loaded, well here is an easy way.
<!--- First we set a variable to hold your list of quotes each seperated with commas --->
<cfset myQuotes = "Welcome to my site., Hope you like what I'm giving you., Your going to love my site. ">
<!--- Next we set a random quote number set the 3 to the number of quotes you have --->
<cfset randomQuote = #RandRange(1, 3)#>
<!--- Now we output the quote using trim, to remove starting white space before quote 2 and 3 then use listGetAt to find the quote you want
if randomQuote is 2 the script will output Hope you like what I'm giving you. --->
<cfset displayQuote = #trim(listGetAt(myQuotes, randomQuote))#>
Hope this helps someone.
