Who did already visit the NorthCarolina tourism web site ?
Every time a page is loading, you see a random landscape of the state. I was impressed the first time I saw it. Of course I can get a similar effect with a quiet simple javascript and it's not very difficult to insert it in a master template.
That's what I finally did. But I'm not satisfied. This is not a job for javascript.
If user has javascript turned off, I have no css to show, no background to display.
Here is the main reason why I was trying to achieve this with C# Code.
I'm very frustrated now because my code works great in a normal aspx page but has no utility with Umbraco.
I will use javascript tonight. Can't tell my friends I was unable to do what I planned to do !
But when website is online, I would like C# to choose my css. Is there anyone that can help ?
And last but not least: Is it possible to use the ASP.NET App_Theme folder wiwth Umbraco ? Can I use the Page.preInit method with Umbraco ?

Web Design & Traduzioni

Check out this thread for how to get random images in XSLT.
http://forum.umbraco.org/14943

Then call the macro in your template and you have a new image every time it is loaded. No javascript. Everything done by the server. Neat. Clean. Robust. Simple.


BTW, do you know about the umbraco community search? It's a real help when looking for answers. Full Google syntax. Looks at all the major umbraco-related sites at once. Find out more at http://forum.umbraco.org/misc/umbraco-community-search
