Random background image each time the page loads

Can someone provide a sample of how to display a different background image in a table cell each time the page loads?

I am only able to find scripts to display a different picture outside a table like the one below. But how can I modify this to work as a table background? Probably need some sort of onLoad?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

<script language="JavaScript">

var list= new Array()

list[list.length]='../images/pic_1.jpg';

list[list.length]='../images/pic_2.jpg';

list[list.length]='../images/pic_3.jpg';

list[list.length]='../images/pic_4.jpg';

list[list.length]='../images/pic_5.jpg';

j=parseInt(Math.random()*list.length);

j=(isNaN(j))?0:j;

document.write("<img src='"+list[j]+"'>");

</script>
