I've been trying to randomly select an item from an array and displaying the chosen array in a form field. I've found how to display the item in a paragraph by using <p id="item"> </p> (might be incorrect) but can't figure out how to display it in a form field :/ Help, please.

What do you mean by "display in form field"? What code have you tried, what did you except to get, what did you actually get? – T0xicCode May 18 '14 at 16:09

You can get a random value like this
var rand = myArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myArray.length)];
Then you can display it in the form field by using
document.getElementById('id1').value = rand
where id1 is the id of your formfield
