How can I develop a javascript function that randomly chooses between the element in my array then link it to my text on html?

Question

Function and linking

Answer 1

let arr= [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0];

document.getElementById("text_to_link");

let text = text_to_link;

text.innerText =
arr[ Math.round(Math.random()*(arr.length-1)) ]

Answer 2

Cyrena

let arr = ["www.sololearn.com", "www.google.com"]

let tag = document.getElementsByTagName("a")[0];

tag.innerText =

arr[Math.round( Math.random()*(arr.length-1) ) ];

//😁😁😁😁

Answer 3

Ex:

let result = MathRandom();

let elem = document.querySelector("a");

elem.setAttribute("href","result");

the link provided in previous answer will give you more details.

Answer 4

(Still PM problem).

You're welcome, you're good to go so.👌🏻.
Thanks, you also stay safe 🌞🕊️

Answer 5

RandomEl=arr[Math.floor(Math.random()*arr.length)]

Answer 6

Cyrena ,
Once you have your result, you pass it as a attribute value of your element

yourElement.setAttribute("href","your random value");

Answer 7

Did you get my last pm which start with "To access myLink values put rani ..." ?
It seems connection problems are within pm function.

Answer 8

To access myLink values put rani which is a number, in square brackets : myLink[rani] , check if your sites adresses are string type and in good format, and I don't remember if window.location is enough, if not try adding href : window.location.href
Add also a console.log(myLink[rani]) to check if the address is really picked up from the array.
Also is that the autocorrect went bad or a typo from you? => html => onclick="ranSite()" but in js => function randsite(){}

Answer 10

Cyrena you are not the only one...
I am also facing another extra problem 😵
My profile name and picture has been changed to another person's 😵

Answer 11

Cyrena I try to reply to your pm, but the message won't send, so :

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do.Would you post your code?
If the result is passed to href , it won't be visible normally.
If I understand, you have an array of links.You'd like the click to pick up a random link from that array, pass it to the href then it will redirect to the page/link...
If so, you'll have to add an eventListenner (like "onclick" on the element) and build a function for it so when you click first you pick up the link from the array, second it will pass it as a href as in the exemple, and then let the redirection operate.Maybe you'll have to handle something with a Promise to be sure the href is well provided with a value before the redirection...
You can also make use of window.location.href on whatever element , not only <a>

Cyrena , sorry to reply you here but my PM section still have issue.

Answer 17

Cyrena hi,
(Still PM message issue for me, I can receive but not reply).

So about your last PM message:

Not sure but I think you can try writing it without the g variable.
As it is you store the goBack function in the variable without using "g" later.

Try :

document.getElementById("press").addEventListener("click",goBack);

Or :

var g=document.getElementById("press");

g.addEventListener("click",goBack);

Let me know if it works or not.🙂

Answer 18

Oh, ok, on your computer so?
The two folders Name and Pages are both in the same wrapper folder ?
>relative path including the folder name =>
window.location.href="../name/name.html".
Do you have an error message when you check the console Dev tools of your browser ? What is it saying ?

Answer 19

I corrected the previous message...
but check the error message in Dev tools.

Answer 20

No, the main folder is name.
So, Name(main folder)
->name.html
->pages(folder)
->hello.html
