Work in Progress

I'm constantly messing around and experimenting with things on this site, unfortunately a lot of the stuff I'd like to try out I simply don't have a reason or the content to (lack of target audience really). So this page is here so I can publish my pointless experiements.

Ajax (without the X)

The website I built for Johnny had a random image on the front page (utilising the image block module in Gallery). It changed every reload and linked to the image page in Gallery. But he wanted a random image which changed on click. So I thought I'd have a look into the XMLHttpRequest revival or ajax and found this tutorial. I adapted it slightly for our needs and hey presto johnny was happy. It's not suitable for my header random image as I've got a caption which needs to match the picture, so I've just written it into an array.

The random image is below, click it and it changes without reloading the whole page! magic! I'm going to incorporate this into the tortoise cam soon
