<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- HIDE FROM INCOMPATIBLE BROWSERS
function randNum() {
var randomNumber1 = random(10);
document.addForm.txtNum1.value = randomNumber1;
var randomNumber2 = Math.random(10);
document.addForm.txtNum2.value = randomNumber2;
}


function verifyGuess() {
var sumNum = document.addForm.txtNum1.value + document.addForm.txtNum2.value;
var guessNum = document.addForm.txtGuess.value;
if (guessNum = sumNum)
alert("Correct!");
else
alert ("incorrect");
// STOP HIDING FROM INCOMPATIBLE BROWSERS -->
</SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>

<form name= "addForm">
<p>
<input type="text" name="txtNum1" size="20">
<input type="text" name="txtNum2" size="20">
<input type="text" name="txtGuess" size="20">
<input type="submit" value="New Problem" name="button1" onclick=randNum()>
<input type="reset" value="Verify" name="button2" onclick=verifyGuess()>
