I’m a little (not a lot) more than a beginniner at using JavaScript to various things, but I can’t figure out a way to randomize a list of elements and get the result to print. I was trying to combine Math.random, an array of the elements i want to randomize, and an iteration with document.write, but I got nowhere. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Elements, Javascript, List, Randomize, There, Using

Just used this code to randomize pictures of my puppy!
hrefs.sort(function(){ return Math.round(Math.random()) -0.5})
hrefs was my array.
UPDATE:
you then loop through the array, and writeln the links…
do you need a program to update in place or demand? that’s harder but can be done.

Looks like you were on the right track. At the bottom of this site is code on how to create an alert box with a random quote, you should be able to modify it from there.http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jran…
