A Quick Question - Javascript

[Qasim Rasheed]

Hello everyone,

Using _javascript_, I want to display numbers from 1 to 5 such that
numbers are ordered randomly on each page refresh and none of the
number is repeated.

e.g 

first refresh 1,3,4,2,5
second refesh 2,3,5,1,2
etc etc

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

How about something like this?

script language=_javascript_
function writeNumbers() {
	var usedList = ;
	var myList = ;
	while (usedList.length  5) {
		var tempInt = Math.round(Math.random()*4) + 1;
		if (usedList.indexOf(tempInt) == -1) {
			usedList = usedList + tempInt;
			myList = myList + tempInt + ,;
		}
	
	}
	document.write(myList);
}

/script

You can make some changes as to put your commas in, etc.

You know, most of these sports are based on the idea of one group 
protecting its territory from invasion by another group. 
Yeah, I said, trying not to laugh. Girls are funny.
