I am trying to write a program for my website where you can see a program "infinitely" print text. I want it to create a random variable, it doesn't matter that it is just random gibberish, and then write it out on the site itself. Right now I have created a piece of code that can create the gibberish, but I'm struggling with the printing part. I want it to show the previously generated gibberish as well, preferably on the same line. As an example:
I have tried multiple pieces of code but I couldn't figure it out. It is probably a very simple loop so sorry in advance -_-
This is my latest attempt:
function gibberish() { var randomsequence = ''; var followup = ''; function makeid(length) { var output = ''; var letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; var charactersLength = letters.length; for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) { output += letters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength)); } return output; } var monkeyoutput1 = ''; var stringoutput = monkeyoutput1 + makeid(Math.floor((Math.random() * 26) + 1)); monkeyoutput1 = stringoutput; document.getElementById("monkeybox").innerHTML = monkeyoutput1; //document.getElementById("monkeybox").innerHTML = makeid(Math.floor((Math.random() * 26) + 1)); } setInterval(gibberish, 1000);
<div> <h1> text </h1><p id="monkeybox"> placeholder text</p> </div>
I've just added the innerHTML before the new text so it appends it
function gibberish() { var randomsequence = ''; var followup = ''; function makeid(length) { var output = ''; var letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; var charactersLength = letters.length; for ( var i = 0; i < length; i++ ) { output += letters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength)); } return output; } var monkeyoutput1 = ''; var stringoutput = monkeyoutput1 + makeid(Math.floor((Math.random() * 26) + 1)); monkeyoutput1 = stringoutput; document.getElementById("monkeybox").innerHTML = document.getElementById("monkeybox").innerHTML + monkeyoutput1; //document.getElementById("monkeybox").innerHTML = makeid(Math.floor((Math.random() * 26) + 1)); } setInterval(gibberish, 1000);
<div> <h1> text </h1><p id="monkeybox"> placeholder text</p> </div>
