How does the break statement work?

[Cogito]

For the first time, I'm attempting to write a small Javascript program
using one on the online reference sites. I need some confirmation as
to the behaviour of the break statement.

In the following code:

for ( row = 0 ; row <= 7 ; row++ ) A <----
{
for ( col = 0 ; col <=7 ; col++ ) B <----
{
if ( check ( row, col ) == "pass" )
break ;
}
}
}

Where will control pass to once the break statement is executed?
Will it continue with the first 'for' statement (A) or the second (B)?

Also my 'check' function needs to pass an indication as to it's
success or failure. It does it by:

return ( "pass" ) ;

Am I doing it correctly?

Any links to useful reference sites would be welcomed.

for <area .. please ask a html NG.

Actually I did not. It was just a word I picked at random. I was just
wondering if there is a way of detecting typos other than careful
scrutiny.

JS being a easy comlpiance language,
no that usually is not possible.
[VBS has "option explicit"]

Some help may come from using an editor with code colouring,

Cogito, you will need to test your code? Does it do what you expect in a
variety of conditions?

Well, if the identifiers you choose are all standard English (or other)
words, a spelling-checker will show those that are not.

Or you could run your code through a program that separates out all the
"word"s, sorts them, and counts how many times each is used. Those used
only once ...

In many cases a typo will result in the attempted use of an undefined
variable in a manner that will be detected, provided that your test uses
that variable. Because of the nature of the language and the speed of
computers nowadays, it pays to test early and test often.

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.
