Question

I have the following code

function randomizer(start, end)
{
    return Math.floor((end - start) * Math.random()) + 1;
}

var top_pos = randomizer(1, $(document).height());

$('.element_selector').css('top', top_pos + 'px');

but the result is not what I realy expect from. The most of the times the element is places near to top (about 80% of the times).

Is there any better solution to place my random element in realy random position into vertical axes ?

Answer 1

Math.random() will return a value like 0.318 etc.

you could do Math.random() * 10 (or *20) to increase the value.
