    random number generator

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    hi all im trying to put together a random number generator. it's working fine but i want to be able to have a name field that when filled in it will be the start of the random number. here's what i have so fare.

    <script>

    var keylist="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789"
    var temp=''

    function generatepass(plength){
    temp=''
    for (i=0;i<plength;i++)
    temp+=keylist.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random()*keylist.length))
    return temp
    }

    function populateform(enterlength){
    document.pgenerate.output.value=generatepass(enterlength)
    }
    </script>

    <form name="pgenerate">
    <input name="output" type="text" onFocus="populateform(this.form.thelength.value)" size=18 readonly="">
    <input type="hidden" name="thelength" size=3 value="10">
    <input type="text" name="name">

    </form>

    Do it like this:

    
<form name="pgenerate">
<input name="output" type="text" size=18 readonly="">
<input type="hidden" name="thelength" size=3 value="10">
<input type="text" name="name">

</form>

<script>

var keylist="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456789"
var temp=''

function generatepass(plength){
temp=''
for (i=0;i<plength;i++)
temp+=keylist.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random()*keylist.length))
return temp
}

//function populateform() {
document.pgenerate.output.value=generatepass(document.pgenerate.thelength.value)
//}
</script>
