[RESOLVED] simple 2 dim array and 3 dim array in javascript/error

jrough

I get the error message below in scratchpad upon hitting the page which I don't understand why.

<html>
<script>
var pr_arr = function(){


var arr[0] = new array(1,2,3);
 arr[1] =new array("jr","ch","mh");
 arr[2] = new array('color',1,2);

 vardump(arr);
}
 var pr_arr1 = function(){

var arr =[[1,2),["jr","ch"],['color',1]];

 alert(arr[0][0]);

 }

 pr_arr();
 pr_arr1();
 </script>
 </html>

Exception: missing ; before statement

var arr[0] = new array(1,2,3);

You can't declare (using [font=monospace]var[/font]) just one element of an array. Declare the array, and then put things in it.

I am getting another error after I declared the array? I got two different ones so the compiling got confused.

Exception: missing : after property id

  arr[0] = {1,2,3};

You're trying to set [font=monospace]arr[0][/font] to an object literal without naming any of its properties. You presumably meant to use an array literal.
