Im using Visual Studio 2012 and creating a web page using "ASP.NET Web Site (Razor v2)" Im using Java to generate a random link;
<script>
var random = new Array();
random[0] = "example1.com";
random[1] = "pattern1.com";
random[2] = "specimen1.com";
</script>
<script>
function randomlink() {
window.location = random[Math.floor(Math.random() * random.length)];
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:randomlink()" style="color: black;">A Random URL</a>
When I click the A Random URL link it opens a random page from the list in the script above. I'ts all good, but because its a verry big list I need a way to do the same without having it in HTML because its slowing the loading of the page since its in the _SiteLayout.cshtml. Thanks.
Among your choices are the following options:
<a>
link. No need for javascript at all.It sounds like you don't want to implement the first option if you have a zillion URLs.
The second option is probably the easiest as it requires only slightly modifying the generation of the page and requires no new server APIs. You just have to figure out how to select a random URL in your server-side environment.
The third and fourth options are the least efficient as they require a call to the server, a response from the server with the new URL and then a client redirect to the actual URL.
