Then the form field element will be populated with the result.

You should see this one by VWP http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=252615 which does just that but will pick losers rather than the common pick winners method and leaves a list of winners through selection of losing tickets / seats.

Thanks for alll your answers! But now its more complicated!
I have a form with 2 fields: sample_size and sample_nums.
The user enters a number in the field sample_size (example: 90) and if the field sample nums is empty the page will fill the sample_num with 40 not repeated random numbers (Example: 5,67,32,78,90, ...).
This depends on the number entered from the user:
From 1 to 8: 8 numbers
From 8 to 15: 15 numbers
From 16 to 25: 25 numbers
From 26 to 50: 25 numbers
From 51 to 90: 40 numbers
From 91 to 150: 60 numbers
From 151 to 280: 105 numbers
From 281 to 500: 170 numbers
From 501 to 1200: 300 numbers
From 1201 to 3200: 200 numbers
I would recommend a couple of things concerning your submissions:
1. Check the error console (especially if using FF or Chrome browsers) to find the obvious syntax errors.
2. Enclose you script between [ code] and [ /code] tags (without the spaces)
to make it easier for forum members to read, copy, test and comment upon.

It is not a problem to be a beginner at JS as everyone was at one time or another.
Keep trying and learn from the mistakes while trying to avoid repeating them.
Problem in real terms is you need to understand the rules and unfortunately you have no cheats in programming.
My school tutor drilled it in to us that a program is just a collection of smaller problems that need solving and you need to tackle each element one at a time. I will often get an idea and just bash out the code I am looking to create and if I can not remember a function or method, I make one up but make it obvious that I have to research that method or way of accessing information.
My tutor also said that you should always develop and evolve methods of doing things and be conversant in at least a couple of ways of doing the same job as each "Level" of coding has its place. It is also best to develop a code base of tools that you know works 100% and use them to aid your code development.
Avoid things like JQuery, Moo and whoever else wanders in off the street offering a way to simple site coding, well see the forums here ! Does it?
Anyway, the important thing is to try, unlike other hobbies where you can experiment, the most you can do is break; your code.

It could be useful to know if the nbr numbers are always choose without repetitions between 1 and 500, or if the problem is only to sort randomly nbr numbers ! In the first case, this function which avoid to sort 500 numbers to choose only a small number of them (nbrVlu), could solve a part of the question.
Code:
var ttlVlu=500;
function randList(nbrVlu){var nbrLst=0,lst='',firedVlu={};
do {var rnkVlu=1+Math.floor(Math.random()*(ttlVlu-nbrLst));
for (var i=1;;i++) if (typeof(firedVlu[i])!='number' && !(--rnkVlu)){
firedVlu[i]=1;lst+=','+i;break;}
nbrLst++}
while (nbrLst!=nbrVlu);
lst=lst.substr(1).split(/,/g).sort(function(a,b){return a-b;}).join(', ');
return lst;
}
alert(randList(10))// give 10 random values (betwen 1 and 500) whitout repetitions

Code:
...
The code I posted was a compromise between the two.
It only creates the number of elements requested and randomizes those so that there are no repeats.
Another way would be to create the maximum size of elements needed, randomize those
and choose only the first 8 or 15 or whatever are needed per the requirements.
To 'resa':
Using the random()*unit calculation will NOT guarantee NO repeating numbers.
