Random Function

[Joke758]

I just made a function for fun with the ie.au3.

Requirements:

AutoIt3 Beta with COM support (post 3.1.1) and IE.net

Thanks to random.org.

This is a bit useless but I made this for fun and for testing ie.au3 only ^^.

This is cool. I think it is a greate example of what the IE UDF can do and also allows for compleate randomness. That is really cool. 7/10.

This is nice! It's very quick as well.

_INetGetSource() should do what you need and it should take up less time then ie.au3 (or at the verry least consume less memory)

but if this was only for trying out ie.au3 id say good job
