Coin toss

[Guest_imported]

How do I create a Web page that prompts for a number, and then throws a fair coin that number of times. Prints the results of how many heads/tails and set the background color of the Web page to say green if tails or purple otherwise.

do you want the visitor to see thee background changing with each toss? If so, the easiest way to do this (a for loop) cannot be used because it only updates the screen when it is finished processing. I would use:
nm=setInterval("func()",numsecs) and clearInterval(nm).
These will execute a func every numsecs seconds. You can use Math.random() to emulate the coin toss...
