    Question Simple JQuery Slideshow that Refreshes Order of Pictures

    Right now on my current website, I have it going through the pictures in the order of the array, but I would like it so whenever the user refreshes the website, the slideshow randomly shuffles the pictures in a different order.

    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var imgs = [
    'images/slideshow/001.jpg',
    'images/slideshow/002.jpg',
    'images/slideshow/003.jpg',
    'images/slideshow/004.jpg',
    'images/slideshow/005.jpg',
    'images/slideshow/006.jpg'];
    var cnt = imgs.length;
    
    $(function() {
    setInterval(Slider, 3000);
    });
    
    function Slider() {
    $('#imageSlide').fadeOut("slow", function() {
    // the source of the problem
    $(this).attr('src', imgs[Math.floor (Math.random( ) * imgs.length) % cnt]).fadeIn("slow");
    });
    
    }
    </script>
    Any help is appreciated! =]

    There are plenty examples out there on how to sort an array randomly. Search Google for "JavaScript array random sort."

    Thank you for that tip!

    I wanted to know if I could interchange JavaScript techniques with JQuery because I wanted to try and use these tips:

    It's 3 lines of code. Why waste the resources to interact with jQuery? Since jQuery doesn't have a random sorting method included, you'd have to extend the jQuery framework which would be more work.

    Just to add to this here is a really basic slider I enjoy using. I like it cause the code is really easy to understand and it includes thumnails, next and previous buttons and a rotating description section too
