This JavaScript picks a number of unique random elements from an array.

For example; if you have an array myArray consisting of 10 elements and want to pick 5 unique random elements. Suppose initially myArray[3] is picked randomly, then myArray[3] will not be picked again.

If you want to pick 4 numbers, call the function like this : pickNums(4)

This codes works so nice!!!!!!!!!
But one more thing pls,
How do i validate the number generated by this codes?

For example let say i generated a number like: 1 | 4 | 0 | 5 | 8 | 3 | 9 |
from this Code and am using it as a receipt number, how do validate it at the front end without checking it against a recordset in the database.

Thank You.
