Question

var texts = new Array("text1", "text2", "text2", "text3", "text4", "text5")
var textNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;
$('#textArea').html('<p>{texts[textNumber]}<p>');

I have this code, and i want this script to randomly choose an element of ‘texts’ array, and put it where the ‘#textArea’ is, but interpolation doesn’t seem to work, what is wrong here?

Just a better code to do what you seen you are trying to do…

var texts = ["text1", "text2", "text2", "text3", "text4", "text5"]
var textNumber = Math.round(Math.random() * texts.length) ;
var text = texts[textNumber];
$('#textArea').html('<p>' + text + '<p>');
