Below is a quick addition to the Spry 1.6 framework code created using DreamWeaver’s default  data source code, to allow a random record to be displayed. This can come handy when you need to create a random testimonial in plain HTML and XML (no database and PHP needed).

... <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var randomnumber = Math.round(Math.random()*19); // Will pick 1 out of 20 random numbers var ds = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("your_XML_file.xml","dataroot/data[Unique_ID="+randomnumber+"]"); //--> </script> ... <div spry:region="ds"> <p>{column1}</p> <p>{column2}</p> </div> ...
