you have to use myrarray.length to get a random number within the total number of items in the arrayran_array_number=Math.floor(Math.random(myarray.length)*10)then you use the number to display the item with in the array at that positionalert(myarray[ran_array_number])

also, you don't need to initialize i=0 twice. Doing it in the for loop is fine.

I have done as you mentioned and add this line in my scriptran_array_number=Math.floor(Math.random(myarray.length)*10)after that my script is looks like<script language="javascript">myarray = new Array();myarray[0] = "this is my first javascript"myarray[1] = "this is my second javascript"myarray[2] = "this is my third javascript"myarray[3] = "this is my forth javascript"myarray[4] = "this is my fifth javascript"myarray[5] = "this is my sixth javascript"myarray[6] = "this is my seventh javascript"myarray[7] = "this is my eighth javascript"myarray[8] = "this is my ninth javascript"myarray[9] = "this is my tenth javascript"i=0for(i=0;i<myarray.length;i++){ran_array_num=Math.floor(Math.random(myarray)*10)alert([ran_array_num])}</script>but the result is the same. alert displays only number of array not it's value I want to display array's value as an alert. so please help me in this way.

You do not appear to have incorporated dsonesuk's suggestions into your code. He gave you this snippet:

ran_array_number=Math.floor(Math.random(myarray.length)*10)alert(myarray[ran_array_number])

But your script still looks, in part, like this:

ran_array_num=Math.floor(Math.random(myarray[i])*10)alert([ran_array_num])
