you could link to a php page for the background, send headers in the php that tells it that it's an image, and also return a random image ;)

yea, you'll have to use php. Somethign with rand. Have the background images named numbers, like 1.gif 2.gif 3.gif then have:



<?php
$pic = rand(1,3);
?>

...

<body style="background: url('<?=$pic; ?>.gif');">
