It's very easy. So let's begin. We need to create block with random products from current category and place it on products page. 

First we need to create appropriate file in directory /app/design/frontend/your_current_theme/default/template/catalog/product/. Lets name it list_random.phtml.

In some cases we need to create some kind of online calculator without sending information to server. There are a lot of plugins but they are usefull only if we need to make serious calculations in simple cases we can use our brain and jQuery api. Code given below consist of two parts: html and js.

So html we need given below:

Sometimes we need to make some menu items non clickable, there are some modules in drupal wich can make it , but installing module is not the easiest solution. Couple js lines given below is easiest way as i think. This way is the best when we have dropdown menu with a lot of items in different levels, only in this case our solution is very suitable. Here is code:

Task to show random comment with link to post. The decision below. First we get all approved comments. If we have comments we get random number among of existing, then we print comment content, and put link to commented post.
