That's great Toby. Here's the actual code I found that worked for the page
refresh, but didn't include your timeout.

Can you help me integrate a timeout function into my existing code below, so
the quote changes say every 45 seconds, and is also randomised on page
refresh please?

<script language="JavaScript">
var howMany = 2
var quote = new Array(howMany+1)
quote[0]="quote1"
quote[1]="quote2"
quote[2]="quote3"
function rndnumber(){
var randscript = -1
while (randscript < 0 || randscript > howMany || isNaN(randscript)){
randscript = parseInt(Math.random()*(howMany+1))
}
return randscript
}
quo = rndnumber()
quox = quote[quo]
document.write(quox)
// End --></script>

Thanks in advance :)
