I am trying to generate random number within a range. My code at the moment is
Code:
var uppermax = 100; var uppermin = 10; var upperdiff = uppermax - uppermin; var lowermax = 10; var lowermin = 0; var lowerdiff = lowermax - lowermin; var rand = Math.floor(upperdiff + 1) * Math.random() + uppermin; alert(rand);
I know math.floor is supposed to round down to the nearest integer, but the generator is still coming back with a float.
This statement is to produce a random integer within a specified range. I get the desired result when passing the values within a function like this:
Code:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function get_randomRange(low,high){
[code]...
the results form the second example look like the number are possibly being multiplied somewhere? why does the first example work and the second not?
Following code. I wanted to generate a set of random number on the pinpad everytime the page is being loaded. (1-9 but the number can only appear once)

i need to display an image randomly from an array that holds 4 addresses to 4 different images.i am having a hard time writing the img tag to the html page that will display the image.is it possible to use document.getElementById('id').innerHTML= "<img src="imgurl" />"?i have a span with an id of "theImage".i want to plop the img tag inside this span tag, but can't seem to get it to work.

I am trying to open a random page in a frame, but I am trying to call the Javascript to do so in another frame. I currently have an html page with a frameset which has two frames. One of the frames is a toolbar that sits at the top of the page and it has an image that acts as button. When the user clicks on this image, the bottom frame generates a random page from an array of links I have hardcoded into the Javascript. The bottom frame is just set to google.com as a default because I couldn't really think of anything to put in an html file there.
The problem I'm having is when I click on the image to open a random page in the bottom frame, nothing happens. The code for all the files are below. code...
I got this code and it generates random numbers but with repeating code...

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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 .
I'm trying to apply something in my forums, where a member could post something let's say:"Hi, I am number 1, 6"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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow would I generate a random number between 0 and 470 at multiples of 10 including 0 and 470?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
I run a random number generating service for a RPG message board I go to, and my website generates only numbers from 1-100. How could I script this so that the user can get random numbers between 1-X?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI set myself the task of creating a button which, when pressed, switches the background color randomly. It seems to work well enough but the random number it works from only generates once at page load.As a workaround, I added a second 'Reset Page' button, but I really want just one button that switches the page color every time you prod it. Any ideas how to reset the random number to achieve this?Here's the code.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a random number between 1 and 1,000. I have a code that seems to work correctly, but I don't completely understand it and after looking online I think it might be wrong. Code: var rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()*999)
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll the numbers should match. It's not working right in any version of IE I test it in (6, 7 and 8). I'm also using jQuery, fyi.When you click the button to stop the numbers, I'm setting a variable named winner to a number (3, 4 or 5). Right now, I have it set to 5. This number determines how many of the slots match:[code]I'm then generating a random number (0-8) to base all the other numbers off of . Three numbers will always match, so I'm setting two more variables to match that random number.[code]Then I do some conditionals to check the value of winner. If it's 4, I set the 4th number to random number, then generate a random number for the 5th spot while it doesn't equal randomnum. I do something similar if winner is set to 5.[code]The goto trigger sends the scroll to the specified index according to slotnum(1-5).I'm waiting to hear back from the plugin developer to see if it's something to do with that.However, I just want to make sure my logic in generating those numbers is sound. It works perfectly in FF, Opera and Chrome but (surprise!) not in any of the IEs (tested in 6, 7 and 8).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make it so that when you press a button it prints out a random number. This is what I currently have:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function randomnumber(randomForm){
var x=Math.floor(Math.random()*11);
document.write(x);
}
</script>
<FORM>
<INPUT type="button" value="Print Number" name="button1" onClick="randomnumber(this.form)">
</FORM>
When I click on the button it just clears all the text from the page and clears the bgcolor. A random number then appears at the top left corner. I am trying to make it so that when I press the button it prints out a random number just above or below the button. Is this possible? if so how do you set it up?
How would I go about creating a random number between 1-50 that COULD include whole numbers, decimals to the tenth, hundredth and the thousandth place?
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
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.
