JavaScript - Displaying Random Text Without Repeating The Content
I'm using the script below in a custom HTML to generate a random line of text (not with the text shown here). This works fine BUT; I want it to go randomly through the WHOLE list without repeating lines that already have been printed. As it is now, a line of text might be printed several times in a row, which is a little annoying. I'm using a refresh button for generating a new line of text.
Alternatively, How can I just make it display in the order shown and just re-arrange the content so it seems random to the user? Random would the best though... Any ideas?? : ) Code: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- var r_text = new Array (); r_text[0] = "All the leaves are brown"; r_text[1] = "And the sky is grey"; r_text[2] = "I've been for a walk"; r_text[3] = "On a winter's day"; r_text[4] = "I'd be safe and warm"; r_text[5] = "If I was in L.A."; r_text[6] = "California dreaming, On such a winter's day"; var i = Math.floor(7*Math.random()) document.write(r_text[i]); //--> </script> Similar TutorialsI've looked for a solution to this issue, but it seems like a little different scenario than other situations. I made a system for generating friend requests on Facebook. I have a grid that is 6 x 3, for a total of 18 cells. Each cell has a picture in it, and the picture is linked to the Facebook friend request page. My problem is that since each cell is populated at random from the array, I'm getting lots of repeats. For example, some picutures are in 5 cells, and some are in none. I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that once a picture is used once in the grid, it does not get used again in the same grid. I still want every cell filled at random on each page load, I just want to prevent the repeating. Here's my current code: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
var vip_list=new Array(

Any suggestions? Thank you! Hi I'm new to this and would like some help. I want to display 4 random images and I would like to get them to NOT repeat themselves. Any suggestions? So if image one is randomly selected as "aceclubs.png" I don't want image two to be the same and so on for the other images. This currently the code I'm using right now. I've been duplicating this function with different names for each of the 4 images. However it sometimes produces two of the same image and I don't want that. Code: function random_ace()
{
var cardace = new Array(4)
cardace[0] = "aceclubs.png";
cardace[1] = "acediamonds.png";
cardace[2] = "acehearts.png";
cardace[3] = "acespades.png";
var randomace = Math.floor(Math.random()*cardace.length);
var ace = cardace[randomace];
card1.src=ace
}
Hi guys, Could do with a bit of help! I've found this code elsewhere and am currently using it to load 5 random pages that automatically refresh to another in the array after 10 seconds. This works great. But is there a way of altering this code so it doesn't repeat any of the pages - atleast until it's displayed each page once? At the moment it can display 'page5' 3 or 4 times before I even see 'page2' for example - which is annoying! Code: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
Array.prototype.random = function () {return this[Math.floor(Math.random() * this.length)]}
Date.ONE_SECOND = 1000;
url =
['page1.html', 'page2.html', 'page3.html', 'page4.html', 'page5.html',]
setTimeout('location = url.random()', 10 * Date.ONE_SECOND)
// -->
</script>
I'm very new to all this, so I aplogise if this is all very obvious! Random non-repeating images script. Hope this helps someone... you can see an example at http://www.empireelite.org/. Refresh and you'll see the PS3 boxarts on the top left will show randomly, with no repeats. In your html page in head tag Code: <style>
img.boxart{
margin:0;
border: none;
display:block;
float:left}</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ps3boxart.js"></script>
in body tag (place whereever in the body you want the pictures to show) Code: <script type="text/javascript"> randomorder(ps3ba, '') </script> In a seperate .js file in the same folder (this one I have as ps3boxart.js) Code: var ps3ba=new Array()

function randomorder(targetarray) {
var randomorder=new Array()
var the_one
var z=0
for (i=0;i<targetarray.length;i++)
randomorder[i]=i
while (z<targetarray.length) {
the_one=Math.floor(Math.random()*targetarray.length)

Then obviously, you would use this as a baseline and change your .js file name to whatever your pictures are for, like ads.js or whichever. Change the links in ahref to whereever you want each page to link. Change the image locations in img src to whereever your images are saved. Remember, where it says var z=0... this is where you hide extra random images. For example, my 200px cell only fits 9 22px wide images (they equal 198px). I only have 9 in my ps3 boxart image folder. If I want 50 in there... I would upload the pics to the folder with the other ones, add them to the list in the .js file. Such as ps3ba[9]=, ps3ba[10]=, etc. up to [49] (49 + 1 for [0] = 50). Then since I can only fit 9 in my cell, I would have to change the variable to var z=41 (to hide 41 of them and only show 9). Hope this helps somebody. Good luck. Hi people, I would like to make the following thing: Load a random file, from a xml list, into a div. I've made a scheme where I show what I was trying to make, but I don't know how to make it. I would like to load into a div a random HTML file, loaded from a XML. Does anyone knows an similar example or can tell me how's possible to do this, please? is it better to do with Javascript ? thanks for the attention guys I am pretty sure this is a javascript function. I want it where when a person chooses an option in a select box, it displays content. Here is the page it'd be on. http://www.rodgame.org/register.html So for Class: once they select something, in the black area in the middle bottom, it'd show a description of that class. How would I do something like this? I am one problem. When i click a link a some information in html is to be displayed on the screen. I have written code for that. But before i click the link i am able to display the content. Please look into my code and give some suggestions: <html> <head> </head> <body> <center> <table> <tr> <td> <a href="javascript:Chg1()">Add Required (Features)</a> </td> <td> <a href="javascript:chg2()">Add via Search</a> </td> <td> <a href="javascript:Chg3()">Add via List</a> </td> </tr> </table> </center> function chg2() { document.write(<b> Type Model Feature Relationship Search and Add </b>);s <table> <tr> <td> Type<input type="text" id="type" name="type" value=""> </td> <td> Document Number<input type="text" id="doc" name="doc" value=""> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Model<input type="text" id="model" name="model" value=""> </td> <td> Promoted<input type="text" id="promoted" name="promoted" value=""> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Feature<input type="text" id="feature" name="feature" value=""> </td> </tr> </table> } </script> </body> You've all seen it before banner codes/rss feed displayers/twitter feeds/etc etc all you do is copy and paste a <script src="http://somewebserver/display.js"></script> somewhere on your website and it retrieves the html from the remote server and displays it on your site. My question as simple as it sounds is how the hell does this stuff work? I have a back end php page that pulls the required information from my DB based off a userid passed to it ie: mywebserver.com/display.php?id=xxxx Is the javascript just a simple ajax call to my php page passing straight on the userid passed to it or is there something more complex to it? I was always under the impression you couldn't do remote ajax calls to a page on a different server, which if I get this right a script off my server included on another domain becomes a member script of that domain and not my own? Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a Javascript question or PHP, so if it needs to be moved can an admin please do so... Anyway, basically I have the following code: Code: <a href = "javascript:void(0)" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block'">View Availability</a>
This pops up a divs with a black alpha background, so that it appears the new content is displaying over the top of the current content. This all works fine, however the content I am displaying in the top level div is (or should be) dynamic. In order for the content to be useful I need to grab the id. Normally I would simply do this: Code: <a href = "url.php?uniqueidentifier=<?php echo $row['id'];?>" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block'">View Availability</a>
However what happens in this instance is that the page loads with the javascript and the id in the url but it then disappears... Has anyone got any ideas on how I might be able to get around this? Many thanks, Greens85 Hi, I'm new to Javascript, so bear with me. I'm trying to use a script that replaces the contents of a div, based on div id's. I've gotten it to work how I want he http://www.sixnations.be/home1.html But can't get it to work here, and I'm not sure why: http://www.sixnations.be/menu.html Relevent code, Javascript: Code: function changeMenu(obj) {
if (obj == 'food') {
//alert('food');
var fd = document.getElementById('food');
fd.style.display = 'inline';
var fdi = document.getElementById('foodImages');
fdi.style.display = 'inline';
var dr = document.getElementById('drink');
dr.style.display = 'none';
var dri = document.getElementById('drinkImages');
dri.style.display = 'none';
}
else if (obj == 'drink') {
//alert('drink');
var fd = document.getElementById('food');
fd.style.display = 'none';
var fdi = document.getElementById('foodImages');

Any ideas? I have a site that can be downloaded and run on a closed network (not needing an active Internet connection). I'd like a page that displays live data to a user with Internet connectivity (I can do this) but display "canned" data when the user is without an internet connection...and this difference in page display is transparent to the user. I know this can be done with php but the user without Internet connectivity will likely not be able to run php locally so the page must be an .htm file. I there a javascript somewhere that does this?Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi again For instance I want to display some announcements from an external text file on a predefined box, like lets say 140 wide and height scalable according to text. The texts would be some announcements from me, a few words. I want the text justified and with previous / next link, if possible. And when they navigate to another page, they will get a random message in that box. There are news tickers on the net, but I just want something simple like this, no scrolling, fading, etc.. Has anyone a clue how I can accomplish that? Thanks. I have a text file(quotes.txt) with 35+ quotations, separated by a single line break. Is it possible for a DIV to display a random quotation from quotes.txt each time the user visit my home page?
Hi, I'm using javascript in addition to a web service (BTBuckets) to display different content to visitors based on actions they take on my site. The javascript is working fine, but I noticed that if I simulate BTBuckets being disabled using Firefox Adblock none of the content shows up. So in the off chance of the service going offline it'll leave some pretty funky holes in the my content. I tried <noscript> tags which works with javascript off, but the content is still blank when I disable BTBuckets. I'm wondering if there's a way to display the default content if the service is unavailable? Here's the code I'm using: In the head: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[[
$BTB={s:XXXXX};
$BTB.jsh="http://static.btbuckets.com/bt.js";
//]]>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + $BTB.jsh.replace(/(https?:)/i,document.location.protocol) + "' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
The code in the body used to replace an image depending on visitor behavior: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
var _t = "";
if ($BTB.clusters["ppc_visitors"]) {
_t = "\"images/top-photo-tracking-number.jpg\" alt=\"Call Toll-Free: 1-800-XXX-XXXX\">";
} else {
_t = "\"images/top-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Call Toll-Free: 1-800-XXX-XXXX\">";
}
document.write('<img src= ' + _t );
</script>
<noscript><img src="images/top-photo.jpg" alt="Call
Toll-Free: 1-800-XXX-XXXX"></noscript>
I'm stuck in my code where I need to have a particular quote or text steady in my site for every 30 minutes and changes only after 30 minutes. Right now I'm just randomizing the array of quotes using rand function. Can anybody please help me with having one steady for every 30 minutes. My intention is that everybody on the site at that moment should be seeing the same quote for 30 minutes. Visitors come from various countries. Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
var Quotation=new Array()
Quotation[0] = "Time is of the essence! Comb your hair.";
Quotation[1] = "Sanity is a golden apple with no shoelaces.";
Quotation[2] = "Repent! The end is coming, $9.95 at Amazon.";
Quotation[3] = "Honesty blurts where deception sneezes.";
Quotation[4] = "Pastry satisfies where art is unavailable.";
Quotation[5] = "Delete not, lest you, too, be deleted.";
Quotation[6] = "O! Youth! What a pain in the backside.";
Quotation[7] = "Wishes are like goldfish with propellors.";
Quotation[8] = "Love the river's \"beauty\", but live on a hill.";
Quotation[9] = "Invention is the mother of too many useless toys.";
var Q = Quotation.length;
var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*(Q-1));
function showQuotation(){document.write(Quotation[whichQuotation]);}
showQuotation();
</script>
New to JS, and not too good at it. Trying to take some prewritten code and add script that displays some random text. Having trouble with assignment. Instructions are to replace a section of the file I am given with a script element. In the script element I am suppose to declare a variable named tipNum equal to a random integer between 1 and 10 returned by the randInt() function (which I made and have shown below). Then I am suppose to use a series of document.write() methods to write the following HTML code into the page: Code: <h1>Random Tip<br />title</h1> <p>tip</p> (Where "title" is the title of the random text as generated by the tipTitle() function from a external file, and which I did not make; and "tip" is the text of the random tip as genereated by the tipText() function, which is also from the external file, and not made by me) My code for the randInt() function is Code: function randInt(lower, upper) {
var size = ++(upper - lower);
var randValue = Math.floor(lower + size*Math.random());
}
The script I made to display the HTML code is Code: <script type="text/javascript">
var tipNum = randInt(1, 10);
document.write("<h1>Random Tip<br />"+tipTitle(tipNum)+"</h1>");
document.write("<p>tipText()</p>");
</script>
I am getting nothing on my page where the random text should be. Any help or advice would be great, thanks. Hi, I have been here before and was responded to quickly with professional results, and you guys have managed to bring me back! Anyway, I am horrible at coding, and I need to know how to write this, basically when the page loads a random number is generated <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload=function() { var random = Math.rand() * (6 + 1); Then later in the page if (random = 1) { document.write("1") //I'm not sure if thats the code to show simple text, but I'm pretty sure it is, correct me if I'm wrong } if (random = 2) { document.write("2") } if (random = 3) { document.write("3") } and so on so forth. I will be changing the numbers in the script to my accord and use of the script, so please use the //notes to mark where and what things is, with a brief explanation, so I don't have to unscramble the code to find out what it is. Thanks fellow nerds! Hey all. I'm looking for a way to have a single, random line fetched from multiple text files, and then have that combination output somewhere, whether just to some field or another text file. For example: Text file A - I like I hate I love I despise I cherish Text file B - apples bananas oranges grapes grapefruit pineapple cherries Text file C - some of the time. most of the time. a lot of the time. pretty much never. So it would go in, get a line from each, and display something like: I love - grapefruit - most of the time. I cherish - pineapple - some of the time. etc. etc. I know it's a weird-sounding example, but you get the point. The line choices don't have to be separated by hyphens, but they preferably would be separated by something, like a comma, semi-colon, slash, whatever. I know this is pretty much a web coding forum, so that would be fine if I had to host it on my server or open it with a browser. But it would be optimal if this could be made into a standalone executable. I'm basically looking for something like Random Line Picker, just with the added functionality I mentioned. I'd be willing to make a little donation to someone if coding this would be a little difficult. Thanks! So I found this script and i give all props to the author but can anyone help me to add text to the random images. Also i need a button that will generate the random images/text not when you refresh the page but when your press the button and to not display any image/text till the button is pressed? Thanks in advance. [CODE] <script language="Javascript"> var currentdate = 0 var core = 0 function StringArray (n) { this.length = n; for (var i =1; i <= n; i++) { this[i] = ' ' } } image = new StringArray(10) image[0] = 'images' image[1] = 'images' image[2] = 'images' image[3] = 'images' image[4] = 'images' image[5] = 'images' image[6] = 'images' image[7] = 'images' image[8] = 'images' image[9] = 'images' var ran = 60/image.length function ranimage() { currentdate = new Date() core = currentdate.getSeconds() core = Math.floor(core/ran) return(image[core]) } document.write("<img src='" +ranimage()+ "'>") </script> <form> <p><input type="button" name="B1" value="Switch It Up" onclick="ranimage()"></p> </form> [CODE] |
