Random Splash Screen Tutorial (ASP)

This will use the following:
Classic ASP / JQuery / CSS

I ran across an issue with a client recently. They were in need of a Pop-up Screen for their new asp website I had created for them and wanted the image to be random.  Since Pop-ups Screens are a bit faux pas and irritating to most people, I figured that a Splash Screen would do the trick. This way they get the big picture they have in mind, but then can be quickly dismissed with a scroll or a click. A Splash Screen is like an Intro Picture before the actual site.  It can be really tasteful if done properly. This is why I started searching the web for some tasteful examples that would please the client and my aesthetic.

I found many examples and all were PHP for the most part, but nothing ASP.  Then finally I found one that was written in HTML.  This is when I did a lot of Copy/Paste and Trial and Error.  I took the HTML coding that I found and added a Randomizer variable to pull any image between 1 and 8. Thus, turning the page into an ASP...Then Voila.  I hope you enjoy.
