On Java, html and php

Now, I’m not an expert when it comes to pure code. When I see an effect I like on a site, I save the page, search throught the lines and lines of code and copy*paste*viola, I got it. That’s how I got the custom scroller bars on my sims fansite.

What I wanted to do (and I’ve been looking for a solution for a while) is display 3 images on a site; the images must load randomly; no 3 images must load simultaneously. If this was Pascal 5, I would have done it in 2 ticks. So I finally find a Javascript that can do almost exactly THAT. I tweak it a bit, test it in a page… it works beautifully. Top image will display my pets pics, middle image will do sceneries and objects, botom image will display people.

Then I try and paste the script to one of the Text Widgets in the right column on this site… big balagan. I check out the FAQ; Javascript is not supported – and will probably never be. *sigh*

Now I have to figure out how to convert my little script into html… I don’t even know if wordpress supports php. Maybe I can get it to work in CSS ?! I dunno.

I know I can add flickr to my site, but I don’t use it. Any other suggestions?

In the mean time, you’ll have to stare at the same 3 pics in the sidebar.
