Hi, how can I change this random number script so that is displays the random number in an input field on a form?


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
document.write(getRandomNum(10000,99999));
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

:confused: :confused: :confused:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.formname.fieldname.value = getRandomNum(10000,99999);
// End -->
</SCRIPT>


Try this

This is the usual way to refer to an input field using JavaScript, and works in most (if not all) browsers. It is possible the function you are calling is somehow incompatible - posting the code would help.

Alternately, check the form and input both have appropriate NAME attributes.

IN THE HEADER:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function getRandomNum(lbound, ubound) {
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (ubound - lbound)) + lbound);
}
// End -->

</SCRIPT>



IN THE BODY:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
document.write(getRandomNum(10000,99999));
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

I guess you want the whole answer, because you got all the pieces you needed.

<html>
<head>
<script>
function getRandomNum(lbound, ubound) {
return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (ubound - lbound)) + lbound);
}
function init() {
document.f1.i1.value = getRandomNum(10000,99999));
}
</script>
<body onLoad="init()">
<form name="f1" onSubmit="return false">
<input type="text" name="i1" size="20">
</form>
</body>
</html>

function init() {
document.f1.i1.value = getRandomNum(10000,99999));
}
Should be:

function init() {
document.f1.i1.value = getRandomNum(10000,99999);
}

One too many parentheses.
