    Hi im trying to create a Form Field where a user can generate random numbers. E.G. I input 5 and hit Showme, an alert box pops up with 5 randomly generated nunbers generateNumbers()

    when the user would click ok on the alert it would erase the form field where they inputted 5

    Does anyone know of a script for this or possibly have a tutorial. thank you.

    well... I don't know of a tutorial.. but lets see if this will help....

    when you get the value out of the text field it will be a string, so you can use
    intval = parseInt(txtvalue)
    to make sure it's an integer...
    then you can use that value in a for loop like this:

    sAlert = "";
    for (i=0;i<intval;i++){
    sAlert += Math.random() + ", ";
    }
    alert(sAlert);

    Math.random() give you a number between 0 and 1, so if you want something else (say between 1 and 5) then multiply (*5)...

    that javascript might get cut out.. I'll mail it to you if it did...
