JS  
My cells change colour in random order but sometimes, it selects itself again.  
Does anyone know function in js about how to make the random cells not to select itself again.

Start with each cell’s attribute **selected=“false”** Have the function give each cell a **selected** attribute set as **true** when it’s colour is set and use an **if** statement so when the condition within the function is **true** not to select itself again.
