FB.api({ method: 'friends.get' }, function(result) { 
       var user_ids="" ;
       var totalFriends = result.length;
       var randNo = Math.floor(Math.random() * totalFriends);
       var numFriends = result ? Math.min(30,totalFriends) : 0;
       if (numFriends > 0) {
          for (var i=0; i<numFriends; i++) { 
            user_ids+= (',' + result[randNo]);
            randNo ++;
            if(randNo >= totalFriends){
                randNo = 0;
            } 
          }
        }
        profilePicsDiv.innerHTML = user_ids;
    alert(user_ids);

      });
