merge 2 for loops together

[ukfusion]

Hi, im creating a drop menu where i have 3 levels....but only the parent and the first child are shown....i need the number of sections in the third level shown in the 2nd level section name:

e.g. top section name
Sub Section Name (3)

im using a for loop to generate each section so i have variables (i) (j) and (k)

my problem is i need to use variable k in with the section name generated by var j....but var k hasnt been declared yet.

heres the script

[HTML]<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function YahooSections(ar)
{
var strIDs = '';
for (var i=1;i<=ar.length;i++)
{
if (ar[i].sURL != null)
{
strIDs += '<div class="collapsed">';
strIDs += '<span><a href="#" class="top_section">' + ar[i].sName + '</a></span>';
{
for (var j=1;j<=ar[i].pChild.length;j++)
{
if (ar[i].pChild[j].sURL != null)
{
var ssnum = '';
strIDs += '<a href="' + ar[i].pChild[j].sURL + '" class="sub_section">' + ar[i].pChild[j].sName +'' + ar[i].pChild.length +'</a>';
if (j==ar[i].pChild.length)
{strIDs += '</div>';
}
}
}
}
strIDs += ''
}
}
return strIDs
}
</SCRIPT>[/HTML]

hi ...

what is stored in ar? could you give an example to work with? or a link to a testpage where we might have a look at it ... as far as i understand strIDs should be some html-code that represents the hierarchy of the menulevels?

kind regards
