My web page has a photograph central to the page. I would like to be able to
select several pictures, maybe 3 or 4, and have a different one show up
randomly every time someone opens the page, or refreshes, or maybe change
every 15 seconds.
Anybody have an idea on how to do this?

The following script displays one of three pictures at random.

<script>
pics = new Array("sample10.jpg",
"sample11.jpg",
"sample12.jpg");
curDate = new Date();
curTim = curDate.getTime();
picNum = curTim % pics.length;
document.write("<img src='imagse/" + pics[picNum] +
"' border='0'>");
</script>

If you want more or less than three pictures, jsut enlarge or contract the
array. You may also have to adjust the path, images/.

For an example of a script that changes the picture every 5 seconds, look
near the end of this article:
