Hello,
I am trying to randomly display a quote in a text box on a form each time the form is loaded. Here is my code:
$( document ).ready(function() {
var ar = new Array(20)
ar[0] = "Nothing is as easy as it looks."
ar[1] = "Everything takes longer than you think."
ar[2] = "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."
ar[3] = "If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong."
ar[4] = "If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then."
ar[5] = "If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway."
ar[6] = "If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop."
ar[7] = "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."
ar[8] = "If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something."
ar[9] = "Nature always sides with the hidden flaw."
ar[10] = "Mother nature is a bitch."
ar[11] = "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."
ar[12] = "Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first."
ar[13] = "Every solution breeds new problems."
ar[14] = "Trust everybody ... then cut the cards."
ar[15] = "Two wrongs are only the beginning."
ar[16] = "If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried."
ar[17] = "To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles."
ar[18] = "Exceptions prove the rule ... and wreck the budget."
ar[19] = "Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view."
var output = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10));
$('#q1 input').val(ar[output]);
});
I cant seem to figure out how to get this to work.
