if (count == 1, true) {
count = a;
}

txt box "UNDEF"

well, the a value should be between ""... count="a"; else the script
think the a is a varibable name...

i think u should have to use another variable name and not always
count.

if(count==1) {
value="a";
}

That approach won't be successful, since that isn't how an if()
statement works.

I'm not clear, actually, what you're trying to do. You want to randomly
generate letters, sure, what what does that mean? Do they need to be all
uppercase, all lowercase, mixed? Is it okay if some letters repeat? Do you
need these letters in an array, a text box, or what?

> please fix and please i already know i spell bad

I'll be happy to help, but you'll have to spell out what you're hoping
to accomplish.

r = Math.floor(random(27)); // zero to 26

BigLetter = String.fromCharCode(r + 65); // A to Z
SmallLetter = String.fromCharCode(r + 97); // a to z
