I'm trying to pull a random quote from an array. I need to display an initial quote and then get a new one, no same two quotes back to back. Here's what I got.
$(document).ready(function() {
var quoter = [{
quote: "I drink to make other people more interesting.",
author: "Ernest Hemingway"
}, {
quote: "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.",
author: "Frank Sinatra"
}, {
quote: "Reality is an illusion created by a lack of alcohol.",
author: "N.F. Simpson"
},{
quote: "Time is never wasted when you’re wasted all the time.",
author: "Catherine Zandonella"
},{
quote: "I feel bad for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.",
author: "Frank Sinatra"
}];
var randomQuote = Math.floor(Math.random() * quoter.length);
//$(function () {
//Set Original Quote
$('#quoteText').text(quoter[randomQuote].quote);
$('#authorText').text(quoter[randomQuote].author);
//});
$('#btnNew').click(function(evt) {
//prevent browser's default action
evt.preventDefault();
//getting a new random number to attach to a quote and setting a limit
var sourceLength = quoter.length;
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * sourceLength);
//set a new quote
//while ( randomNumber <= sourceLength ) {
while (randomNumber === randomNumber){
var newQuoteText = quoter[randomNumber].quote;
var newQuoteGenius = quoter[randomNumber].author;
var timeAnimation = 500;
var quoteContainer = $('#quoteContainer');
//fade out animation with callback
quoteContainer.fadeOut(timeAnimation, function() {
//set text values
$('#quoteText').text(newQuoteText);
$('#authorText').text(newQuoteGenius);
//console.log(quoteText,authorText);
//fadein animation.
quoteContainer.fadeIn(timeAnimation);
});
break;
}; //end while loop
}); //end btnNew function
}); //end document ready
I need to do this by using a while loop. I can't figure out how to store the random quote (array value) and then compare it to the new random one to get a different random on if it's the same.
The HTML is here:
<div id="quoteContainer">
<p><span id="quoteText"></span><Br/></p>
—<span id="authorText"> </span>
</div>
