Hello,

I have a page property that runs a javascript action. It generates random numbers. I want the random number generated in "Number-2" to be less than the random number generated in "Number-1". How would I write this code? Please and thank you!

this.getField("Number-" + i).value = util.printf("%01d", Math.floor((______________));

JavaScript

You can use this code to do that:

this.getField("Number2").value = Math.floor(Math.random()*Number(this.getField("Number1").value)-0.0001);

Thanks, try67! I'm really just dealing with whole numbers so would I just change the "0.0001" to "1"?

How many "Number-" fields you have?

If you have more than two, than number in second field should be less than number in first field and number in third field should be less than number in second field...etc?

Do you have a max or min random number limit?

The idea would be #2 is less than #1, #4 is less than number #3, an so on. So i guess it would be the even number should be less than the preceeding odd number. I am currently only going up to 40 numbers.

Ok, but does the number #3 should also be less than number #2, or it can be higher?
