Different people uses different things. Some people might use a PHP mysql database
and do something like this.

CODE

SELECT column FROM table
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1

there's also an older article about this on a list apart. it's written in PHP, so even if your visitors have javascript turned off, they'll still be able to see and click on the images. (that's assuming of course, you have PHP installed on your server.)
