javascript random quote generator not printing
<p>I'm trying to generate a fresh quote from a list on every refresh. For some reason, I can't get the quotes to show up within the div, and I'm not sure why.</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated! </p>

<pre><code>&lt;div id="quotes"&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
var quotes = new Array();
quotes[0] = "&lt;i&gt;Quote 1&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Author&lt;/b&gt;";
quotes[1] = "&lt;i&gt;Quote 2&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Author&lt;/b&gt;";

var random = Math.ceil (Math.random() * quotes.length) - 1;
$('quotes').set('html', quotes[random]);
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I've updated my code thanks to everyones help to this-</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div id="quotes"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

document.getElementById('quotes').innerHTML = quotes[Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length)];
&lt;/script&gt;

<p>For some reason, the div is still loading without any content thought.</p>

<p>It was the quotes inside of my quotes messing it up. Thank you everyone for the help!!</p>
