JavaScript - Random Number Reset
I am makeing a dice game and this is how i generate the numbers
Code:
var randomnumber1=Math.floor(Math.random()*13) But i have to relaode the page each time to randomize it again. How can i do this with out reloading the page? I am using a button to set the function of. Similar TutorialsThis 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. 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 I can generate a random number between 1 and 9, ( var rand_no = Math.floor( 1 + Math.random() * 9 ); ) but I want to add that random number to a value that is enterred into an inputbox and get a total. How can I do this using Javascript and put the result into a hidden field. I will also need to use that same random number in another place on another form . Thanks i have a table with a couple random numbers, and i want to click a button that will dynamically regenerate the numbers each time the button is clicked without re-generating the entire table., im using DOM and innerhtml for these random numbers. heres the javascript and html code. so far, it just generates the random numbers when the page loads. i posted this problem a while back, and the answers were great, but they coded the xhtml inside the html file. i'm trying to get the numbers to generate in the table that is formed in the javascript file using innerhtml. i tried to incorporate the solutions without putting the html inside the html file to no avail. var random = Math.floor(Math.random()*40 + 1) //sets variables for random numbers to generate var random2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*40 + 1) var random3 = Math.floor(Math.random()*40 + 1) var random4 = Math.floor(Math.random()*40 + 1) var random5 = Math.floor(Math.random()*40 + 1) var random6 = Math.floor(Math.random()*40 + 1) //create table function makeTable(lotto) document.getElementById("tableSpan").innerHTML = '<table border="1" id="lotto">'; var caption=document.getElementById('lotto').createCaption(); caption.innerHTML="JavaScript Random Numbers"; var x=document.getElementById('lotto').insertRow(0); var cell1=x.insertCell(0); var cell2=x.insertCell(1); var cell3=x.insertCell(2); var cell4=x.insertCell(3); var cell5=x.insertCell(4); var cell6=x.insertCell(5); cell1.innerHTML='<td class = "normal">'+ random +'</td>'; cell2.innerHTML='<td class = "normal">'+ random2 +'</td>'; cell3.innerHTML='<td class = "normal">'+ random3 +'</td>'; cell4.innerHTML='<td class = "normal">'+ random4 +'</td>'; cell5.innerHTML='<td class = "normal">'+ random5 +'</td>'; cell6.innerHTML='<td class = "red">'+ random6 +'</td>'; } heres the HTML file: <body onload="makeTable('lotto');"> <div id="container"> <div id="header"> <h1>Welcome</h1> </div> <div id="content"> <span id="tableSpan"></span> <input type="button" value="Re-generate Numbers" onclick="makeTable('lotto');" /> </div> { How would I generate a random number between 0 and 470 at multiples of 10 including 0 and 470?
Hi, First, I'm a newbie in javascript and I need help to do something with a random numbers. I would like to put the result numbers in the "<td class="style1">#01</td>" section and an image in <td class="style1">img1</td> depending of the result number. Exemple : If the result number is #1 then the image Under the #01 will be an image associated to the number 1". Number 1 = "red circle.jpg", Number2 = "blue square.jpg", etc. Am I clear ?

Hi i'm trying to make a unique random number function but i''m stuck in an infinite loop here is what ive been trying below. basically i would like the output to be VolvoSaabBMW in a random order and it should NEVER be VolvoVolvoBMW or anything of the likes, each array item can should only be used once basically. Thanks for any help at all! Code: <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> var mycars = new Array(); mycars[0] = "Saab"; mycars[1] = "Volvo"; mycars[2] = "BMW"; var uniquerand = new Array(); var c = 0; function randno(arrayname) { var i; var b = 0; var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*arrayname.length); if(c == 1) { while (b<1) { for (i=0;i<uniquerand.length;i++) { if(uniquerand[i] != randomnumber) { document.write(mycars[randomnumber]); uniquerand.push = randomnumber; b = 1; } } } } else { randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*arrayname.length); uniquerand.push = randomnumber; document.write(mycars[randomnumber]); c=1; } } randno(mycars); randno(mycars); randno(mycars); </script> </body> </html> Hey guys, I scripted a javascript guessing game and I am not sure how I can configure the random number generator to only generate one number and then stop.

Ex) 2.145, 3, 5.8, 41.002, 10.12, 7, 18.023, 33.2 Also, if the only way to do it is to put trailing zeros to the thousandth place that's fine as well ex) 2.145, 3.00, 5.800, 41.002, 10.120, 7.00, 18.023, 33.200 Hi, I have a 'Register' page on my site. When someone registers to my website, I would like to make it necessary to have a div box which generates a random number/letter, which is linked to a text field where the user has to match the generated output. I've been sitting here wondering which would be the best route to take regarding completing this. I was thinking about using charAt() method. Could anybody please possibly give me some tips for generating random letter/numbers? Possibly would I create a string containing "ABCDE....Z0123456789", then use the charAt method to find a character at a certain index position? If so, would I need create something which generates a random index position? Any help would be fantastic, thank-you. Hello, There isa demo below. I have a form and select menus. I am posting it ajax post method and loading the same page with load method as you see in codes. There is a random number genarator. I want to change this random number once a click submit. If i do not load the same page this number does not change. Therefore I use both post and load methods like in demo. However when i do like this there is a problem which is random number have been generated twice somtimes. If you click submit button successively you will see that the number on left top corner sometimes changes twice a click. Why it is so and how can i correct it.

Hello, I have a coding project that I am working on, and I have gotten stumped. Basically win the page loads I want to show random numbers in two textboxes or labels, I would prefer labels. What this is going to be used for is...it is suppose to be for a math learning tool for first, second and third graders. Also another question is that I am suppose to give them digits based upon their grade level. So for first grade 1+1=2 second grade 2 digits, third 3 digits but can have a four digit answer. Plus it can't have negative numbers, nor have remainders for division. Also I don't want to use buttons if at all possible I want the numbers to load automatically. I know this is a loaded question and I have worked tons on it, for me its trying to get the last few things to work together that's giving me trouble. If you would like to see sections of my code please ask cause it is tons as of right now. Thanks for your help. 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! Hello, I need help creating a function in javascript that produces random numbers generated from a normal curve distribution with a mean and standard deviation that I can specify (and easily change). I would like only whole numbers and the ability to set reasonable maximum and minimums. Thanks, Adrian Hello all! I'm completely new here so I hope I'm doing this right and posting this in the appropriate subforums - if not, my apologies! Anyways, on to my actual problem. I am using the following script on a website to display a different image every time one visits/refreshes. The problem is, sometimes, instead of one of the images I have defined, it will come up with a broken image. I have tried to find something about this kind of thing in tutorials and such, but I have been unable to find anything on the subject. So - here's the code I'm using - Code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var rand=Math.round(Math.random()*6); var img=new Array(6); img[0]="layout/bottomright/00.gif"; img[1]="layout/bottomright/01.gif"; img[2]="layout/bottomright/02.gif"; img[3]="layout/bottomright/03.gif"; img[4]="layout/bottomright/04.gif"; img[5]="layout/bottomright/05.gif"; document.write("<img src=\"" + img[rand] + "\" />"); //--> </script> Because I have extremely limited knowledge of JavaScript, I am not sure where the problem lies. (I made this script following a tutorial a long time ago and it worked completely fine then - I only changed the number in the "var rand" line to match the number of images I'm using this time, and the issue was present right from the start. I changed "var img" a lot in attempts to fix the issue - like I said, little knowledge, so I was just trying things - but it made no difference.) A more savvy friend of mine pointed out that the generator throws an "undefined" number occasionally, but she didn't know why. So... any help? I hope it's not too complex an issue. Thanks in advance! Hi i have a problem, i've been trying to fix this for the whole day pls see my code below Code: for ($o = 0; $o <= $totalclass; $o++) { for($i = 1; $i <= 45; $i++) { if ($_SESSION['classification'][$o] == $i) { $sql2="SELECT ClassDesc FROM tblclass WHERE ClassID = '$i'"; $result2=mysql_query($sql2); // If successfully queried if($result2) { while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2)) { $ClassDesc2 = $row2['ClassDesc']; } } //echo $ClassDesc2; ?> <tr> <td bgcolor="FAFAF6" class="small" valign="top">Class <? echo $i; ?></td> <input type="hidden" name="<? echo "classid[]"; ?>" value="<? echo $i; ?>"> <td bgcolor="FAFAF6"> <textarea name="<? echo "specification[]"; ?>" COLS="50" ROWS="6" class="small" wrap="virtual" tabindex="<? echo $i; ?>"><? echo $ClassDesc2;?></textarea> <input type="button" value="Reset" onclick="window.reset();" name="reset"> </td> </tr> <? } } } i've trying to create a button or image to reset one textarea (from whole array) and so far i've been unsuccessful. i've seen this on other website and i know it is possible to do this, pls help! |
