    copied!<p>I'm a student and new to computer programing and had a quick question regarding a project I'm working on and how I am suppose to make it work.</p> <p>This is what the requirement is: Instead of having two dice initially showing on the page, start with only one die image, and build the second image tag inside a for loop in your function. Remove the first block of code (that rolls the first die) and instead put the code for the second die (the one that builds the img tag) into a "for" loop that runs twice.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; //double dice script function SelectImage2() { roll2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1; imgName2 = '../images/die' + roll2 + '.gif'; document.getElementById('dieImg2').src = imgName2; roll3 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1; imgName3 = '../images/die' + roll3 + '.gif'; document.getElementById('dieImg3').src = imgName3; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center"&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;img id="dieImg2" alt="die image" src="../images/die2.gif" &gt; &lt;img id="dieImg3" alt="die image" src="../images/die3.gif" &gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;input type="button" value="Roll until doubles" onclick="SelectImage2();"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Basically, I guess I'm just looking for someone to maybe explain the for loop function and how I am suppose to call one roll within another roll? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
