[Javascript] Javascript to change include filename

[Peter Brunone]

As I recall, server-side includes are processed before the language parser 
takes over, so even server-side code can't make this dynamic.

However, if you just want to rotate content in a div, you should be able to 
do it all in Javascript without an SSI; just pick the file and shove it in 
there.  You can use an iframe, or an AJAX call, or whatever works best for 
you.

Cheers,

Peter

Subject: [Javascript] Javascript to change include filename 

Good Day;

One of my websites currently contains the following div

My client wants to have 12 - 20 different pic_ordernn files. A random 
number generator should be use decide which file to include (pic1.txt, 
pic2.txt, pic3.txt, ..., or pic15.txt).

I can write code to randomly create/select one of the filenames but how do 
I 
insert that filename in the above include statement?

It seems to me the include is serverside and my JS is client side.

Can that filename be a variable whose value is determined when the page is 

loaded?

Is this a PHP job?

Thanks for all your suggestions.
