Right now, Reddit is down. Every time you go to it, it displays a logo and below it a funny message. Every time you refresh the page it displays a new message.
How could I write something simple that ~rotates~ (not random) a line of text on the page every refresh?
I'm using ASP.NET MVC but if there is a JavaScript solution to this problem that is fine too.

Here's an example of how to do it in javascript:

Mithrax : Sorry, but I tried to specify in my post i'm ~not~ looking for random. Thanks anyway though -
This is how you could write it:
For javascript, simply use the link posted by Andy White and replace the call to
Math.floor(7*Math.random())to a get/set cookie value. You can find ready-to-use javascript functions to read and write cookies on google.For asp.net mvc, the code won't differ a lot, you just have to look for functions to easily manipulate cookies as they are built-in.

Load your message into an array or some sort of collection that is accessible by index.
Something like (i did not verify all syntax):
string getQuote(){ //Load collection of lines ArrayList quotes = getQuotesData(); int quoteCount = quotes.Count; // Set session or application variable to some number int counter; if( !Integer.parse( Session("counter"), counter ) ) { counter = 0; } if( counter > quoteCount ) { counter = 0; } return quotes[counter]; }Also, I'm sure something similar is possible in javascript.
