JavaScript - Random Script Without Repeating?
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!

Refresh and you'll see the PS3 boxarts on the top left will show randomly, with no repeats.

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. 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: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var vip_list=new Array( new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v225/1616/88/s1220771654_2158.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1220771654'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v223/1233/29/s904885342_9055.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=904885342'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v229/1574/66/s1752031238_626.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1752031238'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v223/768/71/n661155042_7325.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=661155042'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v226/732/26/n1827289885_2478.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1827289885'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v229/1631/70/s1425313768_1140.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1425313768'), new Array('http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/pics/s_silhouette.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1667023416'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v225/1146/29/s506485704_9532.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=506485704'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/profile6/270/32/s692160490_8745.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=692160490'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v229/114/83/s1218176198_7375.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1218176198'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v226/946/4/s1470171885_4973.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1470171885'), new Array('http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/pics/s_silhouette.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1329505888'), new Array('http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/pics/s_silhouette.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1325496968'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v223/1546/92/s1536913202_2017.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1536913202'), new Array('http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/pics/s_silhouette.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=1624715433'), new Array('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v228/1282/58/s713998257_3682.jpg','http://www.facebook.com/addfriend.php?id=713998257') );

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 } 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> Does anyone have a script, that can display a random image of the images I select?I'm going to use it for a type of captcha. I think this would be easier in javascript, so yes I am in the right section.
Hi, im wondering if anyone can help me, i have a random image script and it works fine, apart from when you click on the images they link to the right place but ALL go to _self I want [2],[3]and[6] to link to the places they are already linking to but _blank NOT _self, does anyone know how to do this, it would be a massive help :) Below is the code for the script i am using: Code: <script language="JavaScript"> function random_imglink(){ var myimages=new Array() //specify random images below.

The problem is that the random thing causes the same video to be repeated twice in row at times. I need to add a cookie so that no video gets displayed to the same user until all other videos have been displayed. I also look for adding - if possible - a line to count the videos, so that I don't have to edit the number each time I add more videos.. Can someone please help me with that?

Hi I am a complete novice with Javascript. I posted a question on another site as I want to show a series of 9 images in a random order - ie all 9 images but changing their order every time the page loaded. Someone responded with the following script: onload= function(){ var n, pic, A= [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];// replace integers with urls var pa= document.getElementById('image_set'); // reference the container element pa=mr('evalBlock') while(A.length){ pic=document.createElement('img'); n= Math.floor(Math.random()*A.length); pic.src= A.splice(n, 1); pa.appendChild(pic); } } However - I don't know how to put it into my pages to get it to work and they have not replied to my further query. I think I have to put something in the () after function, also, do the URLs have to be absolute and do they need enclosing in ' or ". Also what code do I then have to put on the page to call the image? Would anyone here be able to help? Many thanks Carol Hi, I am pretty much a noob when it comes to javascript. I am looking for a script that redirects random.html to 1 of 86 predefined pages, randomly. If someone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks for your help Hello, I need help again :3 Heres what I need: I need some javascript to random a script. Simply like this: The script randoms a number Based on the number it runs some lines of PHP script. Random 1-10 If 1 Then run this PHP script *PHP script* *PHP script* *PHP script* *PHP script* If 2 Then run this PHP script *Different PHP script* *Different PHP script* *Different PHP script* *Different PHP script* If 3 Then run this PHP Script *some more different PHP Script* *some more different PHP Script* *some more different PHP Script* *some more different PHP Script* If 4 etc etc etc Each bit of PHP Will be similar, but be different in some ways. There may be more compressed ways of doing this. But if it at all possible, I would like it in the way I wrote it above. For instance I dont want: Random 1-3 If 1 Run function 1 If 2 Run function 2 If 3 Run function 3 Function 3 *PHP Script* *PHP Script* *PHP Script* Function 1 *PHP Script* *PHP Script* *PHP Script* Function 2 *PHP Script* *PHP Script* *PHP Script* I will thank the best answer! This website is awesome and has answered so many of my questions! Thanks in advance! I am stuck on some javascript homework I realize it is probably really easy but my stupid textbook is not clear on one point. I have to access code in an external javascript page (random.js) which I have done. But then i have to create a second script element to create the function showlmg() and within that I require statements to declare a variable named imgNumber equal to the value returned by the randomInteger() (which is from the external sheet found in data files from the textbook therefore I know they are right). I am supposed to use 9 as the value of the size parameter in the randomInteger() function. The second statement should be command that writes the following text to the document: <img src='imgNumber.jog' alt= ' '/>. So basically the coding I have done is : Code: <script type= "text/javascript" src= random.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function showlmg() { var imgNumber= randomInteger(9);// Return a random number from 0 to 9. document.write("<img src='imgNumber.jpg' alt=''/>"); } </script> all in the head of the document and then Code: function randomInteger(size) { return Math.floor((size+1)*Math.random());} from the external file. and Code: <tr> <td colspan="2" class="center"> <script type= "text/javascript"> showlmg(); showlmg(); showlmg(); showlmg(); showlmg(); </script> </td> </tr> to post in a table on the page... I believe the issue is in the declaring a variable the is equal to the result of the function random integer which the text book or anywhere that I can find online fails to explain how to do. Thank you. This script isnt working. Im not sure what im doing wrong. forgive me i havent programmed in javascript before. titles.js Code: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> <!--// function random_Title(){ if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) { var num = 3; var rantitle = new Array(num+1); rantitle[1] = "Random Title1"; rantitle[2] = "Random Title1"; rantitle[3] = "Random Title1"; ranNumber = parseInt(num * Math.random() + 1); document.title = rantitle[ranNumber]; } //--> } </script> html page Code: <html> <head> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.flashmajic.com/Google/titles.js'></script> <script> document.title = random_Title() ; </script> </head Hi, I wonder if someone can help me. I'm building a site which has a random image generated on the page each time it loads. It does work at the moment, but I'd like it to be xhtml compliant. Currently the page loads the javascript from an external .js file, but it needs a line in the body of the page to make it work fully. This line is currently causing 15 errors when I try and validate it. The line is as follows: <script type="text/javascript">document.writeln('<td'+'><img src="'+xoxo[choice]+'"height=26 width=970 border=0 ><'+'/TD>');</script> Does anyone have any suggestions about how to make this line compliant? I'm a bit of a beginner, so any help would be greatly appreciated! hi I'm just new to java and I'm trying to write a script that will shuffle the information in a array with no gaps and no repeats. below is that code that i have so far. thanks ben [CODE] //constants SWAPS_TO_BE_MADE = 30; //variables var myArray = new Array('Ace',2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,'Jack','Queen','King'); // the array that entities will be shuffled from var temp = 0; var outPutArray = new Array (12); var arrayLength = myArray.length; var index = 0; var swapIndex = 0; var self_swaps = 0; var counter = 0; temp=myArray[swapIndex] document.write('<h1>Array shuffling</h1>'); document.write('<p>Before shuffle: '+myArray+'</p>'); //loop while(counter < SWAPS_TO_BE_MADE) { index =Math.floor(Math.random()*arrayLength); swapIndex =Math.floor(Math.random()*arrayLength); var index_value = index; var range = 1; myArray.splice(index_value,range,'spilced'); outPutArray[swapIndex] = index; if(index == swapIndex) { self_swaps++; } counter++; index = (index + 1 % arrayLength); swapIndex= (swapIndex + 1 % arrayLength); } document.write('<p>After shuffle: '+outPutArray+'</p>'); document.write('<p>After shuffle: '+myArray+'</p>'); [ICODE] I have to create a website as a project for my university course. Said course has nothing at all to do with computers really so it's really throwing us into the deep end as the majority of us have/had no interest in this particular field. Regardless, I am creating a website that uses the Random Quote Generator Javascript that I copied from the Hotscripts website. The code details are below and my question is: is there any way I could change the formatting for each quote? For example, change quote 1 to be, say, yellow or bold and change quote 3 to be aligned right and blue? I mainly want to change the colour for each quote but having any other info on how to format it would be really helpful. Code: var quotes=new Array(); quotes[0] = "This is quote 1."; quotes[1] = "This is quote 2."; quotes[2] = "This is quote 3."; var q = quotes.length; var whichquote=Math.round(Math.random()*(q-1)); function showquote(){document.write(quotes[whichquote]);} showquote(); Also if you could put it into total idiot-speak for me I'd be oh so grateful. Hi, I have a Javascript which I'm using to display one of four Flash SWF files randomly. These need to be actually displayed twice, so I'm basically calling the script twice. This works great aside from one thing- occasionally the same movie appears in both scripts, for example the first instance picks movie 3 of 4 and th second instance does the same. What I need is to somehow make sure that if the first instance of the script picks movie x then the second script will pick any movie EXCEPT movie x. This is the script as it stands: Code: <script language="JavaScript"> // Generate a Random Number var randomnumber = Math.round(Math.random()*3); // Select a swf and execute the corresponding function if (randomnumber == 1) {movie1();} else if (randomnumber == 2) {movie2();} else if (randomnumber == 3) {movie3();} else {movie4();} //Functions to write out the correct flash movie resource. function movie1(){ document.write("<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"><param name=movie value=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/1.swf\"><param name=quality value=high><embed src=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/1.swf\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"></embed></object>") } function movie2(){ document.write("<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"><param name=movie value=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/2.swf\"><param name=quality value=high><embed src=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/2.swf\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"></embed></object>") } function movie3(){ document.write("<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"><param name=movie value=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/3.swf\"><param name=quality value=high><embed src=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/3.swf\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"></embed></object>") } function movie4(){ document.write("<object classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"><param name=movie value=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/4.swf\"><param name=quality value=high><embed src=\"assets/images/ads/hotels/4.swf\" quality=high pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"120\" height=\"285\"></embed></object>") } </script> Hey everyone, I'm new here so be gentle I ran into a website called livethesheendream.com when the whole charlie sheen drama was going on. I really liked the way the simple site was designed and would like to create something similar to the layout but totally different topic. My question is, can someone modify the script so that when someone clicks on the image or if they click on the "quote" it will show the next quote BUT in the order I want it to be, for example... it will start with "1" when the open the page, then when you click the picture or "1" it will show "2", then "3" and so on. I will write out all the quotes and have the user just click next, next, next. I hope that makes sense. I copied and posted the source code i got from livethesheendream.com if that helps. PM me if you need to, I will be online most the day. Thank you to anyone who can help me!
