Question

I am going to use on of the tooltip plugins listed in this question: jquery tooltip, but on click instead of hover

How would I also setup a tooltip that randomized the text shown. For instance if you click a link you could be shown one of three possible messages:

Message 1
Message 2
Message 3

ideas?

Answer 1

You usually have an array of messages and then generate a random index onclick.

something like

 var messageArray = ["message 1", "message 2", "message 3"];
 var randomNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*messageArray.size);
 var myMessage = messageArray[randomNum];

or something like that. refactor to use ajax/your db if you need to
