JSfiddle number guessing game - numbers

Question

I have put together a number guessing game in Jsfiddle, im having trouble getting the random number stored into an array. i need to program to pic a random number and store it untill the number is either guessed or the game ends
here is my fiddle link https://jsfiddle.net/e64gt4sv/
any help would be appreciated thanks
HTML code:
<h1>The Guesssing Game</h1> Pick a number between 1 and 1000:
<input id="myAssumption" type="text" />
<input type="submit" id="byBtn" onclick="checkMyAnswer()" value="Click To See If your Correct" />
Js code:
var numberOfSteps = 1;
function checkMyAnswer() {
var actual = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1;
var myAnswer = document.getElementById("myAssumption").value; //getting user value
if (myAnswer < actual) { //checking less tha answer
alert("Guessed " + myAnswer + " too low");
numberOfSteps++;
} else if (myAnswer > actual) { //checking grater than answer
alert("Guessed " + myAnswer + " too high");
numberOfSteps++;
} else { //you got answer
alert("Guessed " + myAnswer + " Got it!!");
alert("It tool " + numberOfSteps + " steps");
}
}

I edited the jsfiddle. Check it out https://jsfiddle.net/e64gt4sv/3/.
var numberOfSteps = 1;
var actual = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 1;
var guesses = [];
function checkMyAnswer() {
...
}
Jeremy is right, each time you call the checkMyAnswer, you regenerated the actual number. Instead, if you set it outside the function, you can still get the value inside the function, but it will only be set each time the actual javascript file loads (meaning each time the page is loaded / reloaded).
Also, I added something to store each guess in an array. The array guesses is a global variable, and then when you call checkMyAnswer(), the value that the user inputted is added to the array by doing
var myAnswer = document.getElementById("myAssumption").value; //getting user value
guesses.push(myAnswer);
