jeffman Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It is more helpful when you explain what goes wrong. Are you using your error console? I'm sure it would help.Make sure loadXMLDoc works synchronously, not asynchronouslynms=xmlDoc.getElentsByTagName("Num")[0]spell Elements correctlyIs <num> the total number of jokes? I hope so, if your randomizer is to work correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
