Anyone fuh-mil-yur with Javascript?

[ForgotMyPass]

I need help with this.

<script>function countarray(array){
while(counti=0;counti<100;counti++){
if(array[counti] == 0){
counti = -100;
return counti - 1;
}
}
}
</script>
<div align="center"><table class=logo align=center><tr><td width=335 height=85></td></tr></table>
<script>
articles = new Array("<a href='1337/test.htm'>test</a>","Site Launched");
numarts = countarray(articles);
dates = new Array("10/14/2003","10/14/2003");
while(counteri=0;counteri < numarts;counteri++){
document.write("<font color=red>"+dates[counteri - 1]+"</font> "+articles[counteri - 1]);
if (counteri - 1 < numarts){
document.write(" - ");
}
}
</script>

It isnt doing anything. I even tried an alert and it doesnt show. Whats wrong with it?

try naming your array something besides array that's a reserved word. Also check out, netscape or mozilla firebird they both have javascript debuggers built into them.

so does IE (sort of) for that matter, but it really, really, frickin sucks.

Looks fine, sure you don't have script disabled?

IE doesn't really have a javascript debugger like NS and MOZ do. However if you have visual Studio .NET (like I do) then you can feed IE errors into that and use it's debugger which makes NS and MOZ look like crap - but it's jscript based so you still have to test in NS or MOZ when you're done.

I hate MS.

Hi,
another error is while... use for instead. But i don't look what you want do: the function will return always -101 or undefined...

Oh, it's not new Array(), but newArray().

I have a feeling you were looking for something more like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
articles = new Array("<a href=\"1337/test.htm\">test</a>","Site Launched");
numarts = articles.length;
dates = new Array("10/14/2003","10/14/2003");
for (i=0; i<numarts; i++) {
	document.write("<span style=\"color:red;\">"+ dates[i] +"</span> "+ articles[i]);
	if (i < numarts-1) {
		document.write(" - ");
	}
}
</script>
