random number game problem

[charter]

I am trying to script a game were a player chooses a number between 1-100.

A random number generator gives a number.
The player has up to 7 tries.

I have scripted the number generator like this

<script language="JavaScript">
counter = 0
while (counter < 7) {
var num = Math.round(100 * Math.random());

document.write("<br>Random number between 1 and 100: <b>" +num+ "</b>.")
counter++
}

</script>

Can anyone please help in how the player inputs the number and then it is checked to see if both numbers match?

All help much appreciated

I don't know how far you want to take the game but this should get you started

<script language="JavaScript">
counter = 0

function playme(){
if(document.f1.t1.value==""){return}

counter++

player=document.f1.t1.value
if(document.f1.t1.value>100){
document.f1.t1.value=100
}

var num = Math.round(Math.random()*100);
document.getElementById("display1").innerHTML=num

if(num==player){
document.getElementById("display2").innerHTML="You Win"
}
else{
document.getElementById("display2").innerHTML="You Lose"
}

if(counter==7){
alert("You have now had "+counter+" attempts")
}

}
</script>

<div id="display1">&nbsp;</div>
<div id="display2">&nbsp;</div>

<form name="f1">
<input type="text" value="" name="t1" size=3 maxlength=3>
<P><input type="button" value="play" onclick="playme()">
</form>

My thanks.
It gives me a starter.

The confusing thing was where to put the counter in the script.
