</form>

This java script

ranNumber = parseInt(name.length * Math.random()); 
return name[ranNumber];

Your HTML is okay. Here's the Javascript you need:

<script > 
  names = ["Doe", "Ray", "Me"]; 
  now = new Date(); 
  seed = now.getSeconds(); 
  ranNumber = Math.floor(Math.random(seed)*3); 
  document.getElementById('name').value = names[ranNumber];  
</script>

Notes:

(1) You don't need a function, since you want the script to run just once when the page loads.

(2) The first two lines make sure you get a random number every time.

(3) Do NOT use the word "name" as the name of a variable! It's a reserved word in Javascript.

(4) For that matter, it wouldn't hurt to change the id of the <input> to "nameField" or "name_" or something (and then change it in the script, too).
