[Javascript] XMLHttpRequest help (yeah, yeah, I know)

[Flavio Gomes]

Would it be a big problem if you simply downloaded all the quotes to the 
user in an array and then choose one randomly through 
"myQuotes[Math.floor(Math.random() * myQuotes.length)]".

================================================
 //Example
myQuotes = new Array();

myQuotes[myQuotes.length] = "Something";
myQuotes[myQuotes.length] = "Kinda";
myQuotes[myQuotes.length] = "Nice";
myQuotes[myQuotes.length] = "May";
myQuotes[myQuotes.length] = "Happen";

for (x=0; x< 25; x++)
{ myIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * myQuotes.length);
  document.write(myIndex + ': ' + myQuotes[myIndex] + '<br>');
}
================================================

Yeah, it's f**king newbie stuff.. T_T
But soooo pretty much crossbrowser and stuff

Hope to Help,
