I want this array to write hello wait 1 second and write world wait a second and write !. but it doesn't do that what am i missing.
Code:<script language="javascript">
var myArr = new Array();
myArr[0] = "Hello";
myArr[1] = "World";
myArr[2] = "!";
function wait(){
timeout = setTimeout(function(){test()}, 1000);//waits 1 second 10000 = 10 seconds
}
function test(){
window.clearTimeout(timeout);
for (i=0; i < myArr.length; i++){
console.log(myArr);
alert(myArr[i]);
wait();
}
}
test();
</script>
Every time you call the function test, your variable is RE initialized to zero. You either need to use a global variable outside the function, or don't use a loop at all, and use set interval instead of set timeout.
thanks Jpnyc, I got it working with alert, however, when i change it to write to a particular div it will write once and stop unless i put the alert at the beginning of the loop.
Here is the link so you can see the entire page. http://www.westbywi.com/test3.phpCode:function feat() {
window.clearTimeout(timeout);
for (var i=0; i < bNameArray.length; i++)
{
alert(bNameArray[i]);
document.getElementById("fName").innerHTML= bNameArray[i] + "<br>";
if(logoArray[i] != '') {
document.getElementById("fLogo").innerHTML= "<img src='http://www.westbywi.com/images/featuredBus/" + logoArray[i] + "' width='180px'>";
} else {
document.getElementById("fLogo").innerHTML= "";
}
document.getElementById("fDesc").innerHTML=descriptionArray[i] + "<br>";
if(cNameArray[i] != '') {
document.getElementById("fCname").innerHTML=cNameArray[i];
} else {
document.getElementById("fCname").innerHTML="";
}
document.getElementById("fAddress").innerHTML=addressArray[i] + "<br>" + cityArray[i] + ", " + stateArray[i] +" "+ zipArray[i];
document.getElementById("fPhone").innerHTML="Phone: " + phoneArray[i];
if(emailArray[i] != '') {
document.getElementById("fEmail").innerHTML= "<a href='mailto:" + emailArray[i] + "'>Email Us</a>";
} else {
document.getElementById("fEmail").innerHTML= "";
}
if(urlArray[i] != '') {
document.getElementById("fUrl").innerHTML= "<a href='" + urlArray[i] + "' target='_blank'>" + urlArray[i] + "</a>" ;
} else {
document.getElementById("fUrl").innerHTML= "" ;
}
}
}
feat();
why would putting the alert let it cycle through correctly and show only once without it?
I know how to move the pointer back to the beginning of an array in php but not JS. if i change the
toCode:for (var i=0; i < bNameArray.length; i++)
it gives me an undefined after it reaches the end of the array. how do i reset the array to the 0 position?Code:for (var i=0; i <( bNameArray.length*3); i++)
Thanks again.
