/*============================================================ Script: Random Quote Functions: This simple script allows you to print random quotations in the page. Any number of quotes may be used. Browsers: All Author: etLux ============================================================ INSTRUCTIONS: Put the following script in the of your page, wherever you want the quotes to appear. Simply set up the quotations in the Quotations[] array, then paste in the whole block of code. To format the text, wrap the usual font tags around the script (view source on our demo on this page for an example.) TECH NOTE: In quotation 8, note the text, \"beauty\" -- if you need to use double-quote " marks, you *must* precede each double-quote with a backslash \... otherwise the script will break.
