unable to declare an array in include file

[jScriptGuru]

Hi guys,

This line of code works fine if I use it inside a <script> tag in an asp page. ie use it inline..

But if i write same code in an include file, it gives me a syntax error

var myArray =_new_Array();

Pls help.

Thanks in advance.

For javascript it should be: var myArray = new Array();

Thanks for that. Actually that is what I am writing. For some reason when i pasted the code in this window, it added underscores.. My code is..

var controlsNames = new Array();

This gives an error if it is put in an include file. Can you try.

Thanks again.

We need to see all of your code. It is possible that another line above that one is causing the problem. Can you give us a link?

Hi RequestCode, I really appriciate your efforts in looking into the problem. To narrow the issue, i have just one line code in that include file.. this is what my test.js has

function test(){
var controlsNames=_new_Array();
}

When i include this file in my asp page, I get a syntax error. If i take off that array part and write

var controlsNames

then it works perfect..

Also, I want to mension that I get the syntax error on page load.. I mean, not on calling the function test() but on page load itself.

Thanks again.
