break loop not working?

[vheriel04]

Hello

I am new to programming and to a javascript..
I just want to ask why my codes doesnt run correctly?

see my code

for(i=1;i<=2;i++)
{
	if(i===alert2)
	{
	break;
	}
var alert1;
alert("1");

var alert2;
alert("2");

var alert3;
alert("3");
}

I want to stop the loop when the code reach my var alert2,
can somebody explain me why?the code ignore the if statement..

thanks

Don't worry, your if statement is not being ignored.
At what point does alert2 get a value that could match that of i ?

I'll just echo the sentiments of Logic Ali; your if statement isn't being ignored. You might try putting an else clause in your code just so you can tell whether or not your logic is correct.

Hello thanks for the reply..
my friend told me that I need to parsInt the var, so that the integer i will read my alert2 as integer.. but I dont know how to parsInt each var. this is my 1week learning of javascripting, maybe I need to learn more..

parsInt is confusing to me., can anybody correct the code?
thanks
