inner loop question on recursive function

jrough

var strB = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g"];
var strA = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l"];
var i=0;
var j=0;
var strNew[];
for (i=0;i<= count(strA);i++){
	strNew[]=getStr(i,j);
}	

}
function getStr(i,j){
	if(i === j)	{

return i;
}

How do I get the j counter? Is it an inner loop. The problem is to find out if the string b is at the beginning of the stringB?
thanks,

Mind showing us more of your actual code? The code you posted has a few glaring parse errors as well as a lack of any writing to the 'j' variable.

EDIT: Then there's of course the mention of a "recursive function" in the thread title yet no hint of recursion in the code above.

Sorry, it is just an inner loop and outer loop. I rewrote the script. But why doesn't the inner loop fire?

var strA = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g"];
var strB  = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l"];
var i=0;


while(strA != '') {

alert(strA[i]);
for (var j=0;i<=  strB.length;j++){

if(strA[i] == strB[j])	{
		strNew+= i;
   alert(strA[j]);
}else{
alert( "strA is not in strb");
}/*end if*/
}/*end for*/
i++;
}/*end while*/

This, maybe?

Was in relation to the code in your first post.

There are other errors in your second post. You really need to learn how to see these errors in whatever browser you are using. Additionally, you should learn how to use the debugger that comes with your browser. Unless it happens to be Firefox: in that case I'd recommend the Firebug plugin instead.
