Filling form data using a button

I am attempting to fill multiple form entries (mostly text boxes, some drop-downs) using a button.

The button is correctly resetting the hidden fields which generate the required random numbers, but attempting to change other field values is where it's breaking.

I'm using:

this.form.elements("Fel_Roll").value=Fel;

I've also tried

this.getField("Fel_Roll").value=Fel;

Fel is holding the random number and Fell_Roll is the field I want to have it input into IF the button is pressed.

I have also attempted it without the reset function, simply using the values currently in the (will be) hidden fields.

Check the JS Console (Ctrl+J) after clicking the button...

Post your full code, please, or (better yet) share the actual file with us (via Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.), please.

There you go. It's the "Roll All" button on the top left.
