Hello all!

Anyone have a tips on randomizing? I need to randomly generate a background color for a table and I'm unsure of how randomize.

Thanks!
Chris

Hey your lucky day I was just learning the Randomize this morning

Dim BgColor(5)
Dim intColor

'List your colors
BgColor(0) = "Color1"
BgColor(1) = "Color2"
BgColor(2) = "Color3"
BgColor(3) = "Color4"
BgColor(4) = "Color5"
BgColor(5) = "Color6"

'Randomly select a number in the array
RANDOMIZE
intColor = Int((6 - 1 + 1) * Rnd)

Response.Write BgColor(intColor) & " BgColor<BR>"

Your code worked like a charm! Now allow me to add to the previous question.

Is it possible to place that in loop? I've tried and it runs once, then errors with " type mismatch - line 122 (line 122 is where Dim BgColor(5) resides in the code)

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

Put the Dim statement outside of the loop.(That is before the loop)

I originally tried that with the same result. Came back and started fresh this morning and it worked correctly.

Thanks to both of you for the help!
