I've been using this script on my
personal page for a few months now, using a rotating set of
real fortune cookie fortunes. Below, you'll see the first set
of fortunes. You can always use fortunes you get from cookies
when you visit a Chinese or other Asian restaurant, even get
them from your family and friends. They may think you're nuts,
but who cares, right? If you make changes to the script, be
sure you keep each quotation on its own line. Only change
what's between the quotation marks ("") and up to
five fortunes. And yes, this has been tested on a SiteBuilder Classic
page.
My stash of fortunes is now
up to 10 scripts! If you would like
to get all 10 fortunes in plain
text format conveniently zipped, click
this link to the download page. I've
also put the scripts on that page for
those of you who don't have WinZip or
other similar utility. You'll have to
copy-and-paste the scripts into NotePad
or a similar plain text application
to save the scripts.
1) For Homestead SiteBuilder
Classic users, copy-and-paste the following script in an
Insert HTML element, minimize it, and move it to the upper
left corner of your page. This part normally goes between the
<head> and </head> tags and consists of the actual
fortunes. Everyone else can simply put this part between the
<head> tags.
<script>
//fcs1
var Quotation=new Array()
Quotation[0] = "You will discover the truth in time.";
Quotation[1] = "Remember to share good fortune as well as bad with your friends.";
Quotation[2] = "You should be able to make money and hold on to it.";
Quotation[3] = "A good time to start something new.";
Quotation[4] = "A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.";
var Q = Quotation.length;
var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*(Q-1));
function showQuotation() {
document.write(Quotation[whichQuotation]);}
</script>
2) Then, on the body of your page
where you want the fortunes to appear put the following script
into another Insert HTML element. Everyone else can put this
anywhere in the body of your page.
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Verdana" size="2"><script> showQuotation(); </script></font></p>
You can change the font face
and size to suit your web page. Leave out the font attributes
if you want the fortunes text to be the same as what you
defined on your web page.
