Sequential image upon each reload (cycle vs. random)

Is there a way to get a sequential (not random) new image upon each reaload ?

I have let's say 10 images. I want that the user upon first visit sees image 1, then when the visitor reloads the page, he'd see picture 2 and so forth. When seen image 10 he'd then see upon renewed reload image 1.

I tried a random script and the problem is that sometimes, especially when there are not so many images in the pile, that the same image shows the next time again. Like throwing a dice -- the liklyhood to have the same result twice exists Sad

How can I achieve my task? I've checked everywhere -- is it even possible ??

Thanks,

Martin

PS: I want to simply make a website with a nice photo splashscreen that is guaranteed to be different with each visit.

Thanks Thor, this works basically -- I had to correct some spelling errors - see below. There are two problems though:

1. Upon first visit: page is blank Shocked

2. If the visitor visits once and comes back the next day and has his browser turned off in the meantime - he starts at zero again.

So, how can I (a) eliminate the "blank" with the first visit (I tried to set the zero in the code to 1 but this did not work) and how can I (b) get the visitor's browser to remember where he left off last time -- somehow use cookies perhaps ?

Your code:
