loops

for (var i = 0; i < ElementTable.rows.length; i++)
{
ElementTable.deleteRow();
}


my problem is that i increases, and ElementTable.rows.length decreases because on each run, a row is deleted so eventually i = 6 and ElementTable.rows.length = 6 ending my loop, so i need to some how keep i going up to 12 and ElementTable.rows.length go down to 0.
any ideas?

How about doing it this way.

var len = ElementTable.rows.length;

for (var i = 0; i <len i++){
ElementTable.deleteRow();
}


You should make a habit of doing it this way,on small scale you will never notice the difference but if there are hndreds o records to be deleted,its pretty efficient in comparison.

Why not use a while loop?

while(ElementTable.rows.length!=0)
{
ElementTable.deleteRow();
}
