For archiving this think you have to do three steps.
First: Collect all values you need into an array.
var myPossibleValues = ["A","B"];
Second: Generating a random integer number.
Based on Generate random number between two numbers in JavaScript
var randNum = Math.round(Math.random() * myPossibleValues.length);
The parameter myPossibleValues.length
allows you to exentd the array with additional elements and use it as maximum range value.
Third: Read the generated number, apply it on array and associate it to your data attribute.
var videoDiv = document.getElementsByClassName("demo"); videoDiv[0].setAttribute("data-id",myPossibleValues[randNum]);
Due to the fact that getElementsByClassName()
returns an array, the [0]
is nessecary for the -only- first matched html element.
