Generate random numbers in a range every second?

[-[ CaMeL ]- a55m0nk]

I have attempted to create a javascript that displays on the page a
random number between 100,000 and 600,000, and then displays a new
random number in the same place every second after that. It is for a
fake users online for a gag website i am making in school.

any help would be much appreciated

<script type="text/javascript">
var numberText = document.create TextNode("");
document.getEle mentById("users Fake").appendCh ild(numberText) ;
function updateFakeUsers () {
numberText.node Value = Math.floor(Math .random()*50000 0)+100000;
}
updateFakeUsers ();
setInterval(upd ateFakeUsers,10 00);

If you want it to seem believable at all, you might consider
having it start at a number somewhere in that range and each
second add a random number between -10,000 and +10,000.

That will avoid jumps of several hundred thousand people per
second.
