Since it's already its own function, why not just use it like so... <cfoutput> #RandRange(1, 10)#<br /> #RandRange(1, 10)#<br /> #RandRange(1, 10)#<br /> </cfoutput>
-or- <cfset end = 3> <cfloop from="1" to="#end#" index="i"> #RandRange(1, 10)#<br /> </cfloop> Both produce the same results... 3 random numbers. The only disadvantage is that you won't know what those numbers were for later use unless you set them to variables like you were doing... <cfset var1 = RandRange(1, 10)> <cfset var2 = RandRange(1, 10)> <cfset var3 = RandRange(1, 10)> <cfoutput> #var1#<br /> #var3#<br /> #var2#<br /> </cfoutput> -or again in a loop- <cfset end = 3> <cfloop from="1" to="#end#" index="i"> <cfset "var#i#" = RandRange(1, 10)> </cfloop> <cfoutput> <cfloop from="1" to="#end#" index="i"> #variables["var#i#"]#<br /> </cfloop> </cfoutput> -----Original Message----- From: Chris McCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 7:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Question on randomizing multiple times on the same page >You can reseed the random number generator with the Randomize() function, >but that may not be your problem. > ><CFSET random_number=RandRange(1, 10)> ><CFOUTPUT> >#random_number# >#random_number# >#random_number# ></CFOUTPUT> > >Here you set a single variable to a random value, then you output it on >the page three times.
