Ray's Test Pages - Random JavaScript Poems

What this page does is show how a random poem can be added to a web page using a JavaScript array.

The controlling JavaScript is separate to this page and in the poems.js file. This means that a random poem can be shown on any page with the proper links to poems.js file.

Method 1

This uses poems1.js. It is very inefficient as it uses a separate array for each poem.

Method 2

This uses poems2.js. This is better as it uses a single multidensional array.

Method 3

This uses poems3.js. This uses Method 2, but adds the title and formatting.

The poem titles are kept in a separate array to the poems themselves.

Method 4

This uses poems4.js. This uses Method 2, but adds the title and formatting.

The poem titles are kept in the same array as the poems themselves.
