Resolved Having Generating Random Text?

Aug 9, 2009

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:

<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

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]...

I am getting nothing on my page where the random text should be.

Generating A Random Between 2 Numbers?

May 11, 2010

I'll get to the point, I'm a noob I'm using greasemonkey for a certain website. Basically, I'm using gm to refresh the page after a certain time, I was however wondering, If I can set it to a random number between 2 specific times?

The code I'm using atm is setTimeout(function() { document.location.reload(); } , 10000); I know I have to use math.random, well, I think I do. But I'm not sure how to do it between 2 certain times? So to summarise, I'm trying to refresh a page at any given random time between say 5-10 minutes.

Generating Random Number

Feb 28, 2006

In the forum, it usually talked about generating a number between 1 or 0 to that certain value using something like Math.round(Math.random() * 200); or Math.floor(Math.random() * 200);

But what do you do if you want to generate a number between 201 and 400.

Generating Random Images With No Repeats?

Jan 22, 2009

I want a certain amount of image spots to show a certain set of images (specifically 8) in a random order every time the page is refreshed. I do not want the images to be repeated, however. The solution I came up with was to create an array and generate a number one to eight and then compare that number to the numbers previously in the array, and if it matched one that was previously generated, to generate a new number and then compare it. This continues until i have an array of the numbers 1-8 in a random order.

var imgs=new Array(8);
for(i in imgs)
{
function generate()
{
return Math.floor(1+Math.random()*8);

[Code]...

This does not strike me as the most efficient way to go about this. If someone has a better solution,

Random Scrolling Text

May 30, 2006

I want to add a sort of news service to my site. I've a number of
messages, wich I want to be shown in a <marquee> tag. I've found a
simple scrit that generates an random message (wich I've putted in an
array) and the message is shown in an marquee tag. The problem is that
for changing the message, a reload of the page is required. Isn't
there a way to reload the message? Or every time the marquee tag shows
a message, it will be a differrent message? Or perhaps not using the
marquee tag, but another way to scroll text trough a page? ...

Text Formatting In Random Javascript

Jul 23, 2005

I'm going through some "learning by doing" of javascript through trial
and error, and admittedly have a lot to learn. But in taking various
scripts and dissecting them, I still can't figure out if what I want to
do is possible, and that is this:

I'm trying to include a paragraph on my page that is randomly chosen
each time the page loads. This I can do. But in this paragraph I'm
trying to include varied text formatting (parts bold, parts different
color, etc), and make part of it a link.

If I use unformatted, un-linked text, it works fine, but that's not my
goal. When I try including html in the items from which to be selected
randomly, whether by directly specifying the attributes or using CSS
class references, nothing displays, which makes me wonder what of all
this is the problem.

Displaying Random Text Without Repeating The Content?

Jan 26, 2011

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.

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...

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var r_text = new Array ();
r_text[0] = "All the leaves are brown";

Fetching Random Lines From Different Text Files

Aug 1, 2011

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 -

Text file B -

Text file C -

So it would go in, get a line from each, and display something like:

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 [url], 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.

Simple Random Image And Text Generator

Mar 27, 2010

I have used the below code, found on a forum from 2006, to generate a random image on my website with a link and accompanying text.The image works fine, the link that goes with each image is fine.Problem is: the text beneath the image does not match the image and link. This seems to be generated as a separate random element. Can anyone tell me how I can make my site display image 1 + link 1 + quotation 1?

JQuery :: Make Fields Already Preset With Random Text?

Jun 23, 2010

I have a site, im expecting a few hundred colleagues to sign up, they have the chioce to pick a user name and email adress of their choice, but to speed things up a bit I would like set preset usernames and emails in the fields so the user just has to press the enter button.

So for example, my 2 fields will be filled with something like Username: [mysitename]User[randomnumber] Email: [randomnumber]@mysite.com

where my site name is the actual name of the site, and the random number will be different on every visit.

Display Random Text At Bottom After Button Is Clicked?

Nov 15, 2011

when I click on a button, it should display below the button a random randomStrings(AAA, AAB, AAC, AAD, or AAE). The problem is that when I click on the button nothing is being displayed. Instead it just re-opens the web page I am on.

How can I get it so that when I click on the button, a randomStrings appears at the bottom.

question 2 is that in the future I want the randomStrings to display AAA, AAB, AAC ... all the way to ZZZ. Is there a shorter way to display the randomStrings than just AAA, AAB, AAC and so on.

Below is my code
