Promo website prototype

Dynamically displaying images..
So, i've been playing around in Javascript to test a few things for a basic skeleton of our website. I've been working on some methods required to implement our ideas.

Ideally, we will have a dynamically loaded set of images for the front page, which basically means that the amount of images we will be displaying dosen't have to be fixed and is determinate on how many images are available.

This means that we can just add more images as and when, and hopefully the page will render with those additional images without changing anything. The size of the thumbnail images is also adjustable without having to externally resize them or again, fiddle with any HTML stuff.

Any amount, any size..
Also to look at, is to make the images appear in a random order on each refresh, this will add a little extra to the look and make things little 'fresh' perhaps.. ;)

This could possibly be expanded into a time-based feature, whereby the page will auto-refresh every so often on idle activity. A cool idea of this is that it could be left on display and constantly update itself like some sort of interactive billboard type thing!

Chows!
