Re: random in arizona
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2003
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 53536
interpreted = N
texte = This situation always seems to be a tough one at first but fortunately it's something that's been solved by many programmers many many times before. It's like shuffling a deck of cards and dealing them. Usually solved by first creating a random list (the shuffle) and then sequentially displaying that list (the deal) 5 at a time in this case. Hahahah ... I'm sorry I don't have a code example for you but maybe this will help give you an idea?
