Random Help

Im trying to figure out how to click say random 16 check boxes of say 48 in a form, its for a role playing game that has questions that you can either fill out or in most lazy peoples case just random answer to get your class, but i cant seem to figure out how to pick 16 answers on random on one form thank you

You could do something that loops through each checkbox and gives it a 50% chance of being checked or not, and just repeat that until you've got 16 checked boxes.

maybe something like this (may have a few bugs, As I didn't test it):

 

var myArray = new Array();
function in_array(val){
     for(var i=0;i<myArray.length;i++){
          if(myArray[i] == val) return true;
     }
     return false;
}
function randomCheck(){
     var i = 0;
     while(myArray.length < 48){
          var ran = round(Math.random()*48);
          if(!in_array(ran)) {
               myArray[i] = ran;
               i++;
          }
     }
}
