non-unique array generation and element count

[Ryzzix]

I am currently building a tool for a friend that runs a live action rpg that has a downtime system between games.

Basically the intended result is for her to be able to enter numbers into some form fields to get a total number of dice to be rolled.

this field would then dictate the size of the random non-unique array with numbers between 1 and 10, to be generated.

we also have a difficulty threshold in the form.

I need to not only be able to generate the array, but get a total count of all elements with a value greater than difficulty form id.

for example: total dice used: 230 , difficulty: 4, output x where x= total number of elements greater than 4.

keep in mind that tdu and dif will be changing every time.

I currently have a form field that displays total dice used (var totalDice = document.generator.txtTotalDice;) and difficulty (var totalDif = document.generator.txtTotalDifficulty;)

need the final output to go to a form field -- Total Successes (var totalSuccess = document.generator.txtTotalSuccess;)

any help would be appreciated...

What do you have so far? Or is all you have the assignment of those variables? If that's as far as you've gotten so far, you should probably take a class or work through a tutorial before taking on a project of this size. But if you have more code than that, it would help to see it so we can diagnose what's gone wrong.

I will say this though, if all you need is what you describe above and you don't actually need the individual results, there's no need for a dynamic array. All you really need is a counter and a loop.
