refresh/reload script

 
Is there an easy way to create an element -- perhaps a
scheduled
element -- to have content change on each refresh/reload of
the page?
The solution can't involve hacks or scripts, since the user
who will
need to create the elements is not a developer. The idea is
to have an
array of photos rotate through on every refresh.
 
At the moment, the only solution I can think of is a render
handler,
but I was hoping there might be something simpler - is there
a built-in
javascript available for this?

Hi Brenna,

One way off the top of my head to do this is to drop a
container where
you want the content to appear and then in the container
drop multiple
elements of what you want to appear. Go into layout
properties of the
container and check "Limit the number of contained
elements to" and
enter 1 for the number and also check "Random
display".

So for instance, say you want to randomly rotate through a
small group
of images on a page, drop a container on the page and then
drop several
image elements inside the container. Then configure layout
properties of
the container like I mentioned above. Once you finish, upon
every load
of the page a random picture will be displayed from the
images stored in
the container.
