I have generated the random number using below code in Selenium RC, but it is not working in Webdriver

For random number generation in Selenium RC, I have the code but it is not working properly in Webdriver. If I use the below code in webdriver, it is returning null. Please find the code below in webdriver

String Randnum = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("var d=new Date().getFullYear()+new Date().getDate().toString()" +
            "+new Date().getDay()" +
            "+new Date().getHours()" +
            "+new Date().getMinutes()" +
            "+new Date().getSeconds()" +
            "+new Date().getMilliseconds()");

Please help me out on this... Help will be appreciated.

Why can't you try the same thing using Java?

Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat formatter= new SimpleDateFormat("MM_dd_yyyy_hh_mm_ss");
String randomName = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime());

the javascript code below 

function displayRandum()
{

     var d = new Date().getFullYear()+new Date().getDate().toString() + new Date().getDay() + new Date().getHours()+new Date().getMinutes() + new Date().getSeconds()+new Date().getMilliseconds();
     alert(d);

}

works perfectly. Can you try in your Selenium code, to keep everything in one line (no extra "+" and " characters).

Edit: (missed return statement. Saw Arran's reply and realized it).

function returnRandum()
{

     var d = new Date().getFullYear()+new Date().getDate().toString() + new Date().getDay() + new Date().getHours()+new Date().getMinutes() + new Date().getSeconds()+new Date().getMilliseconds();
     return d;

}

You are missing the return statement. Without, the javascript will run but not return anything.

String Randnum = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return new Date().getFullYear() + new Date().getDate().toString() + new Date().getDay() + new Date().getHours() + new Date().getMinutes() + new Date().getSeconds() + new Date().getMilliseconds()");
