Selenium: Get unique value?

Question

Just using selenium to fill out some forms for me. I need it to generate a unique value for my username field. How can I do that?

I've got

Command: type
Target: id_of_my_field
Value: username+unique_value ???

Answer 1

You can use javascript to do that:

Value: javascript{'username'+Math.floor(Math.random()*100000)}

This will append a 6 digit random number to your username.
