Unique Random Numbers II
Aug 22, 2002
This script is a slightly modified version of "Unique Random Numbers". In this script it becomes easier to implement more than one instances of "Picking Unique Random Numbers".
This JavaScript picks up a number of unique random elements from an array.
For example; if you have an array myArray consisting of 10 elements and want to pick 5 unique random elements. Suppose initially myArray[3] is picked randomly, then myArray[3] should not be picked again.

My Name is Tom I am from the UK and I am (for my own entertainment and learning) creating a dvd indexing web application to sort and catagorize my dad's dvd collection. On the homepage for this website I have dynamically (using JS) appended 3 image elements which contain the images of dvd box art at "x by 225" pixel dimensions i.e. when I resize the dvd box art they all have to be 225 pixels in height and constrain to the necessary width in contrast to the height. Now that the images are working, I now want them to be randomized so 3 unique box art images are displayed everytime the page is refreshed. So far my script is:
Code:
// Image Rotation Javascript
function imageRotation()
{
// Preload images
[Code].....
Problem with this is that sometimes I get results from the random number generation that are non-unique i.e. sometimes random_number1, random_number2 and random_number3 yield: 3,3 and 11 etc. I need to make it so that you never get such clashes or it will show 2 or more identical images on the homepage. How can I change the random number generators to achieve this?
how to plug the imgObj into the image elements as to use the preloaded images instead (at the moment their just hard coded.)

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;
count = (box1 ? 1 : 0) + (box2 ? 1 : 0) + (box3 ? 1 : 0) + (box4 ? 1 : 0) + (box5 ? 1 : 0);
if (count > max) {
alert("You can only choose " + max + " of the 5 nominees.");
obj.checked = false;
}
}
</script>
<form>
<input type=checkbox name=box1 onClick="countChoices(this)"> Homer Simpsons <p>
<input type=checkbox name=box2 onClick="countChoices(this)"> Ground's Keeper Willie <p>
<input type=checkbox name=box3 onClick="countChoices(this)"> Mr. Burns <p>
<input type=checkbox name=box4 onClick="countChoices(this)"> Barney <p>
<input type=checkbox name=box5 onClick="countChoices(this)"> Chief Wiggum<p>
</form>

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.

I would like to create a Blackjack style game for one of my high school programming classes. I can generate 3 different random numbers and use these random numbers to display an image with that number on it.
How do I add the 3 separately generated numbers together to show the total??
Here is my code so far. Specifically I would like to add the myNumber1(), myNumber2() and myNumber3() results together.

I have a form wich has a add/remove row button, this so the visitor can select multiple sets of data. All is fine and is being submitted via PHP.
Only problem is from number 10 and up, i am getting strange random numbers in the new rows that are added in their name. Like 1111 (instead of 11), 122222 (instead of 12). And because of this, every row from 10 and up won't be send through php, giving this random effect.
The full form can be viewed: [url]

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?)

I've got my code, and the task is to generate two random numbers, the user then inputs an answer for them added together, then the program checks the answer and displays either "correct" or "wrong". Here's some of my code:
Code:
<HTML>
<TITLE>Assessment Task 3 : Rohan Gardiner</TITLE>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE ="JavaScript">
function maths(){
var response;
var answer;
answer = document.questions.answer.value;
if (answer==document.adding){
response = "correct";
} else {
response = "wrong";
} document.questions.result.value = response ;
} function randoms() {
rndNum = Math.random();
Num = rndNum*20;
Num1=rndNum*10
document.write(Math.round(Num)+"+"+ Math.round(Num1));
} function adding() {
document.write(Math.round(Num) + Math.round(Num1)); }
</SCRIPT></HEAD><BODY>

I'm trying to generate random numbers 0-8 to use to access array indices.[code]Every once in a while, I'm getting a -1 in my console log. I read on a site that this line:[code]will generate a number between 0 and 10 (so 1-9).How is -1 being generated?

I need to modify the script showed at: [URL]
Right now it allows entering "numbers only", I need it so that it allows numbers and alphabets only, no special characters or spaces.
And yes, one more question, does the first part of the code need to be added in the <head> of the document or <body> ?
The code at the above URL is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
// initialise variable to save cc input string
var cc_number_saved = "";
</script>

I'm trying to use Javascript to have an array of images that load randomly AND work in a slideshow manner so change every 3 seconds (in a logical order). The code I have below presents a random image but how do I get them to continue from the random image and change to the next every 3 seconds?
<script language="JavaScript">
images = new Array(3);
images[0] = "<a href = 'photo1.html'><img src='images/photo1.jpg' alt='Photo 1'></a>";
images[1] = "<a href = 'photo2.html'><img src='images/photo2.jpg' alt='Photo 2'></a>";
images[2] = "<a href = 'photo3.html'><img src='images/photo3.jpg' alt='Photo 3'></a>";

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 have a page with 641 images in it. Each image can be clicked with as
result that the image source will be changed. For this the images need
to have a unique ID. But to do this manually for 641 is just too much.
Is there a way to give each image his own unique id without setting
them myself?
The image:
<img src="images/hokje.gif" id=""
alt="">

I have been trying to figure this out for a while, and I cant manage to get it working. I have a table for instance the one below:
<tr>
<td><input type='text' id='test_value[]' .... /></td>
<td><input type='text' id='test_value2[]' .... /></td>
<td><input type='text' id='date[]' onclick ="testfunc(this);" .... /></td>
</tr>
Within my function I can grab the index of the onclick no problem, but when I select the date from the date picker, it always select the first column.
testfunc(val)
val.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex
I am using clone to create multiple instances of a row, but how can I use non-unique id (date[]) which all my X rows have the same name, to unique enter the datepicker value.
