The DIVs are on the web-page? – Šime Vidas Feb 03 '12 at 16:17

how are you rendering the div's in your output? aka, are you generating them via javascript, or are they delivered in the response from the server? – Nathan Tregillus Feb 03 '12 at 16:17

Also, pure JavaScript? (No library?) – Šime Vidas Feb 03 '12 at 16:17

Put the ten divs in an array, shuffle the array, and show the first five.

You can name your divs some kind like myDiv_0 to myDiv_9. Then you can generate random numbers between with JavaScript using var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*10). And after that you can get your div by window.getElementById('myDiv_' + randomnumber).
