JavaScript - Random Text Every 30 Minutes.

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>

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!

Hi everyone,

I run a streaming site and would like google adsense to appear at the bottom of the page/stream every 3 minutes, stay for 15 seconds and then close automatically. Then after another 3 minutes they'd appear again, stay for 15 seconds and then close again, etc, etc.

I'd imagine having the adsense in an iframe would be easier.

I'd also like to give users the option to close the adsense using a close button at the top of the iframe if they don't want to wait 15 seconds.

Is this possible?

I'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:

Any suggestions?
Thank you!

he everyone please i want to know how to submit a form using ajax every 5 minutes without reloading page

i have a huge form for exams and i need to submit the form without the need to wait until pressing submit because the user may wait to think about the answer a very long time..


so i want to submit the form and at the same time i cant reload the page as it is in normal submit form..

so how i can submit form in the background without letting the user knows that the form is submitted???

Hi - in editing a website...this javascript html is really getting on my nerves - can somebody please tell me why i keep getting the error message

expected ")"

when i try this code: (which ive fiddled around with bloody loads to try and resolve!)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT >

var r_text = new Array ();
r_text[0] = Text 0;
r_text[1] = Text 1;
r_text[2] = Text 2;

var i = Math.floor(3*Math.random());

{
document.write("<marquee style="font-family: 'Georgia'; color: #FFFF00; font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Arial'" ><scrollamount="15"><b>" + r_text[i] + "</b></scrollamount></marquee>");
}


it seems fine to me and is getting me really frustrated now

any help greatly appreciated, do whatever you like to the coding if itll work!

thankyou very much, joe.

As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page.

For Example:

Input- 512

Output - Austin, TX

The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a form with 9 text fields and a text area. What I want to do is replace the text in the text area depending on how many fields contain text. For example my text boxes are named 1 to 9, if the user enters text in the first five boxes I want the text area to auto fill with 'you have selected boxes 1 to 5' if the user selects all nine it will say 'you have selected 1 to 9', therefore, the user must complete the text boxes in order. I have it working with an onchange event but i have a button on the form to also auto fill the text boxes and it does not work if this is clicked.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all,

Thanks for reading. I'm having an issue trying to accomplish the following -

I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after.

This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right, so I'm wondering, would anyone be able to assist me to help me get that variable processing correctly?

Code:

<script language="javascript">

fields = 1;

function addMore() {

if (fields = 1) {

document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field2' size='25' /> <span>Field 2.</span>";

fields = 2;

} else if (fields = 2) {

document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field3' size='25' /> <span>Field 3.</span>";
fields = 3;

} else {

document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "Only 3 fields are allowed.";
document.form.add.disabled=true;

}

}

</script>

Here is the code in my HTML -

Code:

<input type="text" name="field1" size="25" /> <span>Field 1.</span>
<div id="addedMore"></div>
<p class="addMore"><form name="add"><a onclick="addMore()">Add another field.</a></form></p>

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I'm not much of a programmer, I have this script for randomly rotate a bunch of pictures.
What do you change to make to change from one another, not random?

Thanks
Denny

<script language="javascript">

var delay=5000 //set delay in miliseconds
var curindex=0
var i = 0
var randomimages=new Array()

randomimages[0]="...image01.jpg"
randomimages[1]="...image02.jpg"
randomimages[2]="...image03.jpg"
randomimages[3]="...image04.jpg"
randomimages[4]="...image05.jpg"
randomimages[5]="...image05.jpg"

var preload=new Array()

for (n=0;n<randomimages.length;n++)
{
preload[n]=new Image()
preload[n].src=randomimages[n]
}
i = Math.floor(Math.random()*(randomimages.length))
document.write('<img border=2 name="defaultimage" src="'+randomimages[i]+'">')
function rotateimage()
{
if (curindex==(tempindex=Math.floor(Math.random()*(randomimages.length))))
{
curindex=curindex==0? 1 : curindex-1
}
else
curindex=tempindex
document.images.defaultimage.src=randomimages[curindex]

}
setInterval("rotateimage()",delay)
</script>

Hi i have set up a token key to give me some extra protection against direct url access to the page but i wanted to make it random.

at first i used session token but it is not set until after a page refresh on login so this has to be its own deal..

i have found several javascript random codes but how to i pass that value to the window call..

here is the window call.. as you can see right know i have it hard coded as one token all the time. i just need it random and then sha1 (or md5)

Code:

function url_chat(){
chatwindow = window.open("<?=$CONST_MY_ROOT?>/mychat/chat/index.php?tok=0ed61bdd3a8a86f39e6b4abd01ba4e3649d0ec1c", "chatwindow", "location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=950,height=550");
}

i could use this i guess but i dont know how to get that value to the window call above.

Code:

document.write(Math.floor(Math.random()*999999999999999999));

I need to write something like this: http://justsheri.com/webscripting/wsassignment/1049950/

If you look at the code there is 52 of these <img src = './images/blank1.png'

onClick='clickCard("qh",0)'/> where clickcard("numchanges", increments by 1) how is this done?

Thanks
Danny

This is quite easy yet hard.

I'm trying to apply something in my forums, where a member could post something let's say:

"Hi, I am number [random]1, 6[/random]"

And what would happen is that, a number from 1 to 6 would be the content, for example, it would be:

"Hi, I am number 3"

But if you refresh the page, it would still be the same number. Like it won't be randomized again.

So how do I make a javascript/html code that would make a one time number randomizer.

hey. im working on a facebook app..
this is what i got so far.
