Problems with javascript buttons not showing up?

[Brian Connelly]

I am working on a script where through a loop buttons are formed with different onClick parameters, but when my html document opens and calls the function, nothing happens. Can some look at the code and tell me what I am obviously doing wrong. Note: I am a beginner and experitmenting to learn.

My Code:

buttonNames = new Array("Next","Previous","Home");
function displayButtons{
for (i=0; i < buttonNames.length; i++)
<input type="button" value= buttonNames[i]
for (i in buttonNames)
    {     
        window.location = new array("next.html","previous.html","home.html");
        onClick="window.location[i]";
    }>

you’re doing pretty much everything wrong.

- your function definition misses the parameter part (that between the function name and the opening {)
- bare HTML tags (or parts thereof) are invalid javaScript code
- events in JavaScript are defined through Event properties/handlers
- you use a standard for() loop to loop through an array
- if you define a HTML attribute without quotation marks, the value goes only up to the next whitespace character

you should definitely read a JavaSript & HTML tutorial, for instance at www.w3schools.com.
