How to put a random number in the URL bar?
I'm bored, and surfing through an image posting site, and to make it interesting I want to do it completely at random. The site doesn't have a 'random post' button, but the format of each url link is '..../view/XXXX' where the x's are the post number. I've tried using a random number generator, then copying and pasting the number into the url, but it's too slow. Is there a way for me to input a random number (with a floor and a cap) directly into the url? I mean can I write something like '..../view/randInt()' ?
If not, is there a way I could write a program to do this for me? I know some basic java, if that could help me, but I'm open to learning new languages, I'm just not sure how I can get a program to edit a text bar in a separate program, namely a web browser. Thanks in advance

You could write an HTML program to randomize the url as a string on click of a button. Its fairly simple IF you know how to incorporate HTML and JS together.

You can do this easily with Javascript.
If I had the full form of the URL, I could write a bookmarklet or web page to do it automatically.
