Using an array to add an element

[cubefree]

I'm trying to use an array to generate a series:

Code: Select all

var attnEG = new Array();
attnEG[0] = "Text ONE";
attnEG[1] = "Text TWO";

// then .... later ...

for (i=0;i++;i<attnEG.length) {
	aI("text="+attnEG[i]+";showmenu=blank;");
}

But I don't get two separate elements. I get "Text ONEText TWO" positioned together on the same line, nor does the subimage appear at all.

Anyone ever tried to build menus this way before?

Another possibility is also... which does work.

Code: Select all

aI("text="+attnEG[0]+";showmenu=blank;");
if (attnEG[1]) aI("text="+attnEG[1]+";showmenu=blank;");
if (attnEG[2]) aI("text="+attnEG[2]+";showmenu=blank;");

Hi cubefree,

If the for statement posted in your example is how you're actually doing it, then it may just be a slight syntax error. In your example, you have the increment expression before the condition, but it should be the reverse: condition before increment. In other words this:

Code: Select all

for (i=0;i++;i<attnEG.length) { 

should be this:

Code: Select all

for (i=0;i<attnEG.length;i++) { 

Other than that, it seems to me that the approach should work just fine.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

<grin> The only reason I caught it was that I do the same thing myself. Don't tell anyone!

Cheers,
