How do I generate a random char?
(a-z,A-Z,0-9)

The way I'd do it would be to create an Array with all the characters then pick a random number and get that index.

chars=new Array("a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z","0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9")

function pickChar() {
ran=Math.floor((Math.random()*chars.length))
char=chars[ran]
}

The code picks a random number, then get the character at that point. The character is 'char'
