Evening all.
I have a problem with some undefined variables ina function.
Although there are comments in the code below, this is how it works.
[LIST][*]
When the user presses the button, a ranom number is generated
This numer is converted to a 1 or 0
this updates the running totals
the totals are displayed in the table
The problem is that although it loads properly, I can’t get the variable to update the table – I just getundefined.
Here’s the code:

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
i=0;
var total=80;
var single=0;
var dbl=80;
var i=0;
function maketea()
{
document.getElementById(‘tries’).innerHTML=i.value;
var randomnumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*2);
if (randomnumber==0)
//low, ie single
/*if a single bag is pulled, the doubles are unaffected, the singles fall by one
the total number falls by one, and the number of tries increases by one*/
{
single=single-1;
total=dbl+single;
i=i+1
document.getElementById(‘tries’).innerHTML=i.value;
document.getElementById(‘doubles’).innerHTML=dbl.value;
document.getElementById(‘singles’).innerHTML=single.value;
document.getElementById(‘total’).innerHTML=total.value;
document.getElementById(‘doubles’).style.color=”black”;
document.getElementById(‘singles’).style.color=”red”
}
else if(randomnumber==1)
//high, ie double
/*if a double is pulled, the doubles fall by one, the singles increase by one,
thetotal number stays the same and the tries goes up*/
{
dbl=dbl-1;
single=single+1;
total=dbl+single;
i=i+1;
document.getElementById(‘tries’).innerHTML=i.value;
document.getElementById(‘doubles’).innerHTML=dbl.value;
document.getElementById(‘singles’).innerHTML=single.value;

}
};
