Hi,

I am having the same problem even with <

Can you please advice what i am doing wrong?

Here ie my code,

if(document.all.node1.value != "")
{
var arrVal = (document.all.node1.value).split(";");
var i = 0;
var x = (arrVal.length)-1;
alert(x);

for(i = 0; i < x; i++)
{
alert(' i is ' + i);

}

it's keep incrementing the value of i.

I'm no expert on Javascript and I can't see why you are asking Javascript questions on an XSLT forum, but if I wanted to write code that kept incrementing the value of i, this is exactly what I would write.

hi mhkay,

Reason i am asking on this forum is i am writing this js function with xsl file and i wont able to use < sign and am using < instead. It should finish looping when i < x, i.e x=5 but it's keep going.

Anyone any idea?

Regards
Selvan

What does x get alerted as? Can you show the view-source of the JavaScript exactly as it appears in the rendered HTML?

Im not sure why the fit about trying to get javascript into xslt other than Im trying to test locally for a larger problem and my for loop is not cooperating either.....

Code:

               

function init(){
 var panels = document.getElementById("divIds").getElementsByTagName("div");
/*THIS WILL OUTPUT A NUMBER example: '21' */
document.write(panels.length);
/* COMMENT OUT THE document.write and this for loop produces an error*/
for(var i = 0; i < panels.length; i++)
{} 
}

The error produced is
"Error: Expected ')'"

The same error is produced using "<"

Im curious if this is the result of the the script believing the line is terminated with the second ";" as using "<" brings the count of ";"'s to three instead of two. Maybe?

also, the reason for these questions in an XSLT forum is that XSLT is the only place the for loop seems to be a problem....even with CDATA
