<DIV><BR></DIV>Carl,<BR><BR>> why does the indicated number NOT change when
the page is refreshed.<BR><BR>They are making a rather careless mistake. They
are setting the value of an<BR>input before it exists. This *sometimes* works,
but really shouldn't.<BR><BR>They are using an in-line script so that they can
render the question HTML<BR>randomly when the page loads, but are setting the
value of txtQNumber before<BR>they have written the HTML that creates that
input.<BR><BR>Instead, the value of the input should be set when the page
loads (although,<BR>there are several ways that the same thing can be
accomplished):<BR><BR><BODY
