Arrays Quirk

[John]

Hi,

I have a script where b) works perfectly but a) carries out only
select_onchange[0]. Any ideas on why? (everything else is the same,
problem in FF and IE). No errors / warnings.

John

a)

for(i=0; i<3; i++) {
select_onchange(tempArray[i]);
}

b)

select_onchange(tempArray[0]);
select_onchange(tempArray[1]);
select_onchange(tempArray[2]);

'i' is a global variable, so perhaps something in your select_onchange
function is also using the same global variable 'i' which could cause the
loop to terminate prematurely?

I suggest you make sure that your for loop is inside a function and declare
'i' as a local variable.

Fixed. Thank you very much. I naively assumed that it would work like
java. I was nowhere near fixing it until you told me that.
