Using this code: Randomize 'Get random number lngRandomNumber = int(rnd*118) + 1 Problem is, the results don't seem to be random. The code is looped 9 times, and the 9 results seem to have a predictable pattern. Is this normal? Any better alternative? |

Personally, I think you should create a function to randomise the number for you ... then call as needed
 Here's one for you to help you too
 <%
' Create a function to randomise a number
Function RandomNumber(intHighestNumber) Randomize RandomNumber = Int(intHighestNumber * Rnd) + 1 End Function %>
Then call in the script
<%= RandomNumber("118") %>
Hope that helps dude.

this is not the exact same code or system. before it was getting the random number and * 118 and +1 the above works as you set a different value for inthighestnumber. this value can be anything, and so if you have a random number there it has a random output compared to the original. |
