javascript splash text

This is probably one of the simplest things you can add to your site with JS.

It's a random message that changes every reload!

Example:

First, we need an HTML tag that we will write the random text into:

<p id="splashText"></p>

After this, we need to make a script HTML tag, that will contain our code.

<script></script>

Inside of it, we will write as follows:

<script>
function setSplashText() {
  let splashTexts = ["hello there!", "made with notepad", "scarecat wuz here"];
  let splashTextElement = document.querySelector("#splashText");
  let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * splashTexts.length);
  let randomText = splashTexts[randomIndex];
  splashTextElement.innerHTML = randomText;
}
addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", setSplashText);
</script>

I will explain the every line of this code sometime soon. for now its a WIP to test colored code blocks :p
