Preserve Array data, How?

[omygod]

Hi all,
How do I preserve the data in the array? The addRow function here clears all the value I assigned every time I call it. Thanks for any advice.


myRec = new Array(new Array("", "", "", "", "", "", ""));

// assign value to myRec


function addRow()
{
var i = myRec.length;
myRec[i] = new Array("", "", "", "", "", "", "");
}

Following a similar code, such as:<script type="text/javascript">

// define array
// 2 dimensions (rows x columns)
var arr = new Array();
// make first element (row) an array
arr[0] = new Array("a1","a2","a3","a4","a5","a6","a7");

function addRow() {
// add new row:
arr[arr.length] = new Array("b1","b2","b3","b4","b5","b6","b7");
}

// cal lthe add row function
addRow();

// write the array to document
// loop thru rows
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++) {
// loop thru columns
for(var j=0;j<arr[i].length;j++) {
// write each record
document.write(arr[i][j] + (((j+1)<arr[i].length) ? (", ") : ("")));
}
// go to next row
document.write("<BR>");
}

</script>You'll see the printout will not remove any data. I added comments so you can understand each thing if you need to re-do the code, How are you calling your function?

Hi Steelerfan,

Thank for the instruction. I understand your code. I just don't know why my code is not working. Here is my attached code. The problem is after I click the add button to add a row. All the field value I inputed disappear. Please advise. Thanks

I was able to use the code you provided i nboth IE and Mozilla and experienced no problems of which you claim. All information remains when I add a new row and when I sort the info.

What browser are you using?

Hi steelersfan88,

I use IE6. I inputed these values into the field:

7/15/2004, TEXU7892564, 12345, 35, 46300, LB

Then I click the add button and the values are gone.

Thanks for any advice.

IE6. I inputted the same values, clicked add, still there. Clicked sort, went to the bottom.

Do you have this online anywhere?

Hey, you are right. It works on other computers but not on mine.

This is funny. Thank you.
