Random Text Display Using JavaScript

[Beter 2 Burn Out]

I have created a website for the shop. Now I have been told to do some changes into that. I have done the other changes but I am stuck at a place. They want me to do something that can display some random text (lucky draw) which would be useful for them. I have tried lot of things but not succeeded. I want to know how to display the random text using JavaScript. Please help me soon as I want to make the changes earlier as possible.!

You can download the application by which you can output random text script. The application like RanTex can be useful for you. An application RanTex will display a random quote or text block from a list of your choice. The text that you want to get displayed can contain the HTML code so you can make them interactive. The following are the features of it :

• The quotes that you will be using can be hard-coded or listed in a separate file.
• This application displays random quotes or text from a list of your choice.
• You can display the random text by using the Javascript.

You can create the JavaScript as I have did :

<script type=”text/javascript”>
       var Quotes =
    {
    getRandomQuote: function()
    {
    var quote = [];
    quote[0] = “Keep Smiling.”;
    quote[1] = “Good habits result from resisting temptation.”;
    quote[2] = “Never say No“;
    quote[3] = “Implementation begins with I.”;
    quote[4] = “If you bow at all, bow low.”;
    quote[5] = “Greet Everyone.”;
    quote[6] = “Never miss Opportunity.”;
    quote[7] = “Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.”;
    quote[8] = “Tit for Tat.”;
    quote[9] = “Believe in Good Things.”;
     
    var maxLength = quote.length;
    var position = Math.floor(Math.random() * maxLength);
    return Quotes.displayQuote(“quoteWrapper”, quote[position]);
    },

   displayQuote: function(ctl, quote)
    {
    ctl = document.getElementById(ctl);
    ctl.innerHTML = quote;
    }

    };
     
    Quotes.getRandomQuote();
     
    </script>

For displaying the random text using the JavaScript follow the steps :

1. First you will have to initialize an array.
2. Then you will have to store the text strings in that array.
3. You will have to find the length of this array.
4. For generating a random number, you will have to use the Math.random().
5. You will have to use the index that has been generated randomly for retrieving a text string from the array.
6. Then display that text through a document.write().

you will have to go from these steps when you want to display random text using JavaScript.

You can check the following coding for displaying the random text :

var text_st = new Array("Point1", "Point2", "Point3", 
"Point4", "Point5", "Point6", "Point7", "Point8", 
"Point9", "Point10");

var l = text_st.length;

var rnd_no = Math.floor(l*Math.random());

alert(text_st[rnd_no]);

By using the above script you will get the random number of text.
