Generating a Random Number for HTML

I am trying to generate a random number between two values that can be changed to whatever I choose. On the load of the page, I want the number to be shown in the body of my site.

Thanks!

It seems to me like you'd prefer to have the whole page written for you, so here you go. I added some very basic styling. Hope you don't mind.

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="https://randojs.com/1.0.0.js"></script>
        <script>
            function showRandomNumber(){
                document.getElementById("myNumber").innerHTML = rando(5, 10);
            }
        </script>
        <style>
            #myNumber{
                font-size:100px;
                text-align:center;
                margin:50px auto;
                font-family:Arial, sans-serif;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body onload="showRandomNumber();">
        <div id="myNumber"></div>
    </body>
</html>

I have done this using javascript,it will generate random numbers between 0-9.Here is the code.

<html>
<body>

<p id="one"></p>
<button onclick="random()">Random</button>

<script>
 function random(){

document.getElementById("one").innerHTML = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
}
</script>

</body>

If you want output between numbers for example between 1-10 , just edit

Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;

Hope this will help you.Thank you

Your question was pretty vague about what you needed but here is a Javascript solution that generates a random number between two variables and then sets a <div> content to that:

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BenedictLewis/xmPgR/

JS:

var link = document.getElementById('getNumber'); // Gets the link
link.onclick = getNumber; // Runs the function on click

function getNumber() {
    var minNumber = 0; // The minimum number you want
    var maxNumber = 100; // The maximum number you want
    var randomnumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (maxNumber + 1) + minNumber); // Generates random number
    $('#myNumber').html(randomnumber); // Sets content of <div> to number
    return false; // Returns false just to tidy everything up
}

HTML:

<div id="myNumber"></div> <!-- Your number will appear in here -->
<a href="no-javascript.html" id="getNumber">Get number</a> <!-- Link to get number. If the user has no JS enabled it will redirect to no-javascript.html -->
