switch and arrays

menesesg · June 11th, 2003, 02:10 PM

Hello there:

I have an array where i have listed all the .htmÂ´s in my project, right now I acces them through the position number inside the array with a var Position, this works fine but in the future the number of htmÂ´s will increase so all the positions will move. I want to know how I can get the "name" of the htm, instead of the position through a "switch" method:

My code now is:

var laPosicion = 0;
if(laPosicion == 0) {
laPosicion = 0; } //else { laPosicion--; }

    switch(laPosicion){
    case 0:
        window.top.mainFrame.laPosicion=0
        break;
         etc,.........
          }

thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

By simply referencing the index number of the elements in an array, you'll get their content and not their position in the array.

Eg.

<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript">

var myProjects = new Array("index.htm","01.htm","02.htm","03.htm","04.h tm");

switch (n)
{
case 0:
    document.write(myProjects[0]);
    break;
case 1:
    document.write(myProjects[1]);
    break;
case 2:
    document.write(myProjects[2]);
    break;
case 3:
    document.write(myProjects[3]);
    break;
case 4:
    document.write(myProjects[4]);
    break;
default:
    break;
}

</script>
</body>
</html>

HTH,
