Resolved Guessing Game Help.

Jamesc · 12-14-2011, 08:22 PM

What I'm trying to achieve is it initialises a number between 1-2000 randomly.
When the submit button is clicked it simply returns if the number that is in putted is higher or lower than the randomly initialised number.
External JavaScript:

Html

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jsscri.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="initialisation ()">

<form name="exampleform">
 <h3>
Number: <input name="number" type="text" 
            onchange='checkNumber( this.value );'>
</h3>
 <p>
	<input name="submit" type="button" value="Guess"
	onclick= 'checkValue()';/>  
 </p>
 

</body>
</html>

If you load this onto a webpage you'll see what i'm trying to do. I tried deleting the rest of the code to keep the size of the code down.

"checkNumber" is not a function. Did you leave some code out?

Also, you misspelled initialization as "initialisation" in the onload.

Also, the checkValue( ) function requires a single argument passed to it.

When invoked from the "Guess" button, no value is supplied.

Sorry. I changed the spelling. Heres the check function. It checks the in-putted text and alerts the user if the number they put is outside the range of 0-2000.

Code:

function checkNumber(num) 
{
   
   if ( isNaN(num) || num < 0 || num > 2000) {
      alert( num + " Number has to be between 0 - 2000");
   }
}

<p>

Is this right? I'm not sure if it looks at the values in the input box then checks.

How could num possibly be right?

Look here:

Code:

    <input name="number" ...

So:

Code:

	<input name="submit" type="button" value="Guess"
	    onclick="checkValue(this.form.number.value)" />
