adding loop statement

[dmanklein]

I would like to add multiple loop statements to the following to shorten
the code:
var card0 = asLucky[0];
var card1 = asLucky[1];
var card2 = asLucky[2];
var card3 = asLucky[3];
var card4 = asLucky[4];
var card5 = asLucky[5];
var card6 = asLucky[6];
var card7 = asLucky[7];
var card8 = asLucky[8];
var card9 = asLucky[9];
var card10 = asLucky[10];
var card11 = asLucky[11];
var card12 = asLucky[12];
var card13 = asLucky[13];
var card14 = asLucky[14];
var card15 = asLucky[15];
var card16 = asLucky[16];
player6 = open('javascript:opener.cards6()', 'player6',
'left=10,width=50,height=50,menubar=yes');
player6.focus();

function cards6() {
return "<title>Player 6 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card10+"<BR>"+card11+"</font>";
}

player5 = open('javascript:opener.cards5()', 'player5',
'left=10,width=200,height=100,menubar=yes');
player5.focus();

function cards5()
{
return "<title>Player 5 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card8+"<BR>"+card9+"</font>";
}

player4 = open('javascript:opener.cards4()', 'player4',
'left=10,width=200,height=100,menubar=yes');
player4.focus();

function cards4()
{
return "<title>Player 4 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card6+"<BR>"+card7+"</font>";
}

player3 = open('javascript:opener.cards3()', 'player3',
'left=10,width=200,height=100,menubar=yes');
player3.focus();

function cards3()
{
return "<title>Player 3 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card4+"<BR>"+card5+"</font>";
}

player2 = open('javascript:opener.cards2()', 'player2',
'left=10,width=200,height=100,menubar=yes');
player2.focus();

function cards2()
{
return "<title>Player 2 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card2+"<BR>"+card3+"</font>";
}

player1 = open('javascript:opener.cards1()', 'player1',
'left=10,width=200,height=100,menubar=yes');
player1.focus();

function cards1()
{
return "<title>Player 1 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card0+"<BR>"+card1+"</font>";
}

But why bother? Just use asLucky[n] where you use card...n
See below:
player6 = open('javascript:opener.cards6()', 'player6',
'left=10,width=50,height=50,menubar=yes');
player6.focus();

function cards6() {
return "<title>Player 6 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+card10+"<BR>"+card11+"</font>";
}
function cards6() {
return "<title>Player 6 Cards</title><br><font
color=white>"+asLucky[10]+"<BR>"+asLucky[11]+"</font>";
}

This looks like substandard HTML, though.

Good luck.

eval() is almost never needed:

for (var i = 0; i < asLucky.length; i++) {
window["card" + i] = asLucky[i];
}
But why bother? Just use asLucky[n] where you use card...n

Of course. If you have values stored in an array, there is almost no reason to
assign each individual array value to another variable unless you are planning
on manipulating that new variable in a way that would change the value in the
array in a way you do not wish it to be changed. In this case, the variables
are simply being output, there's no reason to assign the array values to
another set of variables.

It would help if you created an Array, or an Object to contain player
and card info.
I would start from scratch, though.
A URL perhaps?
