I have table on a web page that is displaying 7 different images, what I need to do is to somehow randomize the position of where each image is displayed within the table each time the page loads so that there is not one preference.

I need the 7 images to appear on the page at all times, I've had a scout around the web for a script but haven't found one that displays the 7 seven images each time.

[I]this should work:[/I]

Haven't tried it but maybe it's a start. If you get it working it would be great if you could zip and post a sample!
