Getting a random number into a text field?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 16.2007

I just can’t figure out how to get a random number into a text field.

I want to have a random drawing where people can enter their own “lottery number” and they can get a “Quick Pick”. I want to make a certain set of numbers appear in a text box. I tried making an alert do that, but I tried everything and couldn’t do it and I’m moving onto getting it into a text box.

I’d really appreciate any help.

[B]THANKS[/B]

I'm kind of new, but I know the basic stuff. I've gone to so many sites but none of their codes work.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@mrhooFeb 17.2007 — replace the alert with

var L= QP.length;

tem=L;

while(!QP[tem])tem=Math.round(Math.random*L);

document.getElementsByName('Number')[0].value=QP[tem];

If you want to return a 'more' random 5 digit string you could use something like this:
[CODE]function QP(num,limit){
num= num || 5;
limit= limit || 70;
var A=[];
var count= 0;
while(count++ < limit) A[count]= count;
var B= [], tem= limit, temp;
while(num--){
--tem;
temp= Math.round(Math.random()*tem)+1;
B.push(A.splice(temp,1));
}
B.sort(function(a,b){return a-b});
document.getElementsByName('Number')[0].value= B.join(' ');
}[/CODE]

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@mrhooFeb 17.2007 — You define QP as a function, QPnum as an array, but then add array elements to QP, the function.

Change someone's name.

You can't have array elements beginning with 0- (except 0)

Use type="text/javascript" in the script declaration.

Input does not have a closing tag(</input>)

This works:
