I am learning Javascript from this book I got, and I am trying to do one of the "challenges" in the Hangman example, and that is to add on more 8 letter words to it and have it select by random. I am assuming that it's asking me to do this with arrays, but I have no idea how to implement that on this while having it select randomly.
Now i got a function newgame() and i wanna display random word from this array in rectangles gray styled... Here is the problem. I can make to display random words, but i dont know how i make this words with the css style together - rectangels around a char. But the words are different length so i dunno?
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: <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'),
I am coding a random name generator in javascript and at the moment I have the first names and last names in two seperate arrays. I'm adding more names into the javascript itself and it gets messy after a while. When the list is populated to hundreds of names it's gonna be tough keeping track of things.
I was wondering how to have the names listed line-by-line in two text files (first name, surname) and to call the files when the user clicks the generate name button.
How would one search for more than one one simultaneously? I have this function:
var flix = ["Any items left unattended on this table" , "Hello, World"];
function Multiwords(s){ var a = flix[0].toLowerCase(); var b = s.toLowerCase(); var result = a.indexOf(b) if (result >= 0)
[Code]...
It's pretty basic, it just searches through the first index of var flix and tells me if the parameter (s) is 'found' or 'not found'. I made it not to be case sensitive. However, how would I search for multiple words for example:
Multiwords("ANY items This") and if any combination of 'ANY' or 'items' or 'This' is found, i still get my alert message of 'Found'?
I'd like to reorganize the third, fourth, fifth and sixth, as well as any elements thereafter in an array in random order:
var a = new Array('first','second','third','fourth','fifth','s ixth','etc')
In other words, the first, second and third element should remain in position 0, 1 and 2, while the fourth, fifth and sixth, etc. should appear in random order.
What I am trying to do is build a script that will read through an array of words and compare another word to the list to find where it would be placed alphabetically; between which two words would my word go.
Here is what I have come up with so far which doesn't work with words shorter than the shortest word in my list, or words spelled like the shortest word in my list except having a few more characters, plus more various issues.
Example: My list
If I use keywords "apex," or "as", this script fails.
I have a set of regular expressions that make heavy use of the | operator on sections that I do not really need to extract a match from. For example:
Code: var regexp = /([A-Z][A-Za-z]+) (jumps( high)?|leaps|bounds) over ([A-Z][A-Za-z]+) and (grabs|snags|gets) (a|an|the) (apple|orange|pear|grapes)/
The important part for extracting from the match array after using regexp.exec() are the names (the ([A-Z][A-Za-z]+) parts), I don't care which of the other things are matched. The problem is that using the | operator seems to necessitate using the () and adding a term to the match. This makes it difficult to know which term in the array will be the names, especially after editing the middle.So I'd like to be able to use the | operator on words and phrases without adding terms to the match array.
I thought I'd post this and see what you guys think (go easy on me :)). Anyway, my teacher gave the class a project to see if we could make a hangman game with an ActiveX object's draw methods and some good ole' DHTML. I've always wondered why javascript doesn't have any draw methods or graphics objects like Java has.
I suppose SVG will take the place of activeX and Flash... hopefully. Once we had the right object id it was a piece of cake (I found it by the way). Anyway, here's my program. I would've put the code in this post but I have a few includes and graphics that go with it. Best viewed in 1024 x 768 resolution, and IE only (of course).
In http:www.dreaminco...wtopic51264.htm a code was proposed for generating a random number within an array and then printing it into the html document using document.write.Is it possible to go one step ahead and feeding the result into an html href function? [code]is the random array member generated by the javascript.
I am trying to write a function that will take a random array as a var and split it into two arrays. My problem is I don't know how to show the split. I need to cut the array at the mid index. How do i write that so no matter what the length is the middle of the index is selected. I have wrote some code but the if isnt working and the var to set the two array lengths is not right Code:
I'm trying to create a simple hangman script, i want to enter a letter in the guess box and have it detect whether its in the secret word or not and print out the result to the another text input eg:
I have some image URLs stored in an array. I then want to be able to print out one of those image URLs randomly on page load. What would be the best method to do this in jQuery?
I have an array containing 100 different values. How would I randomly pick 25 of them for display? For now I do: for (var i=0; i<markers.length && i<25; i++) {
html += markers[i].name + '<br />'; }
Which of course returns 25 values but always in the same order which is not what I want. PS. My array could also contain only 20 values, in which case I would like the function to display the 20 values randomly sorted.
So, I am attempting to select a random entry from an array, and then make it so that particular entry will not be selected again until every entry has been selected. Basically, I don't want to see any of the same entries, until all of the entries in the array have been selected.
So if this were my array....
keywords = [ "ppc", "games",
[Code]....
since meta was selected a second time before everything had been selected once.
I would like to see something more like
meta, advertise, gaming,ppc, welcome, home, games, advertise, ppc, since this did not select any entry multiple times before every entry had been randomly selected.( the second loop started at the second "advertise" in case you didn't catch the differences.
But as you can see from the code that I have posted above, I do not know how to do this. I have seen examples where the entries that were randomly selected, were actually deleted from the array entirely but this is not what I want to do. I just want every entry to be selected once, and then for the process to be restarted.
does anyone know how to scramble the "box#" in the codes below? Ultimately, I want the checkboxes to be in different order each time I access the web page?
<script lanugage="javascript"> function countChoices(obj) { max = 3; // max. number allowed at a time
box1 = obj.form.box1.checked; // your checkboxes here box2 = obj.form.box2.checked; box3 = obj.form.box3.checked; // add more if necessary box4 = obj.form.box4.checked; box5 = obj.form.box5.checked;
I'm creating a tool which will who a random image every time I press a button, when the image is clicked it will open a new tab which will show a website. I can tell you I've succeeded in all this, but I was wondering if there is any way in which I can let my "generator" show 1 standard image at first, and if this is even possible never show that image after it has been showed. The image will explain that the you have to press the button to go to the next image.The Code:
I have a quick question with multiple array and random numbers. If i generate my random numbers in one array, how would i take a selection of those numbers and put them in another array?
Ex: array 1: 25, 34, 38, 40, 22, 49
Want to move numbers between 30 and 50 to another array.
array 2: 34, 38, 40, 49
Is it as simple as for loops and if statements setting the conditions? do i use a sorting method? (selection? bubble?)
My array contains 15 value I want to random pick 5 value:

How to random pick from all elements with no repeat of the same content. e.g. if myArray[0] is picked then myArray[12] will not be picked again. (because they have the same value "a")
I am taking a Javascript class and the teacher assigned this: Quote: Write a script that uses a random number generation to create sentences and name it sentences.html. Use five arrays of strings called: uppercase article (uarticle), noun, verb, lowercase article (larticle), and preposition. You will need to use the correct case for the article arrays. Create a sentence by selecting a word at random from each array in the following order: uarticle, noun, verb, preposition, larticle, noun. You can find examples of generating random numbers in both Fig. 8.6 (dice-rolling) and Fig. 8.7 (random image) of Chapter 8.
The arrays should be filled at minimum, as follows: the article array(s) should contain the articles: the, a, one, some and any. The noun array should contain the nouns: boy, girl, dog, town and car. The verb array should contain the verbs: drove, jumped, ran, walked, and skipped. The preposition array should contain the prepositions: to, from, over, under and on. If you would like to add more words, adjust the arrays appropriately.
In this game i have the letters as images and they are listed at the top in two rows.
This is the code
As this is not really the best way to do it, I was wondering if i could set the letter squares to be objects of a Button class. I just don't know how to do it.
I am working on a problem that wants me to use a for loop to give an array a random number for each of it's elements (total of 10) and then using a second loop to add them up and display the result.
