JAVASCRIPT RANDOM IMAGE ROTATOR

[Existenz]

Is there perhaps a way turn the images into links, as someone had suggested a little earlier?

[Lesmond]

I dont think that it can be done with this particular code, unless someone knows a way how, unfortunately I am sorry I dont how

But I have seen this JAVASCRIPT code which may be adapted 

Scrolling link script.

<style type="text/css">

/*Example CSS for the two demo scrollers*/

#pscroller1{
width: 140px;
height: 80px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;

}



.someclass{ //class to apply to your scroller(s) if desired
}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

/*Example message arrays for the two demo scrollers*/

var pausecontent=new Array()
pausecontent[0]='<p align="center"><a href="http://url to where the banner will take you/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://url to where the image is." /></a></p>'

i'd like to rotate before and after images... is there any way to keep the image rotation random, but keep each pair of images in the correct before/after sequence? essentially a random 'pair rotation'.
