How to show random posts with javascript on an html page ?

I am currently using a javascript code to display the latest posts from the forum on our site's html homepage. I would like to show also random posts from selected subforums. What should I change in this code to achieve this ?

Code:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.forum.com/forum/external.php?forumids=26,2,43,44,28,3&type=js"></script>

 <script type="text/javascript">

 <!--

  var max = 10;

  if(threads.length < max) max = threads.length;

  for(i = 0; i < max; i++)

   { 

    if (threads[i].title.length > 40)

         { threads[i].title = threads[i].title.substring(0, 40) + '...'; }

    document.writeln("<li><a href=\"http://www.forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=" + threads[i].threadid + "\">" + threads[i].title + "</a> (" + threads[i].poster + ", " + threads[i].threaddate + ") </li>");

   }

 //-->

 </script>

I think you need to have a connection from the database first before showing the posts.. Or calling a function from vbulletin..
