I'm looking to take an array like this
var nochecks = new Array()
nochecks[0] = "MY NAME"
nochecks[1] = "YOUR NAME"
nochecks[2] = "HIS NAME"
And when a link is clicked (OnClick) it will alert each line of the array (not seperate alerts just one alert). I would assume I could do this with sometype of loop but none of the code I have put together works. Can anyone help with this one?

Hi there gillweb,
...none of the code I have put together works
Well, you had better try this then...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>list an array onclick</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.onload=function() {
var items='';
var nochecks = new Array();
nochecks[0]='MY NAME';
nochecks[1]='YOUR NAME';
nochecks[2]='HIS NAME';
document.getElementById('link').onclick=function() {
for(c=0;c<nochecks.length;c++) {
items+=nochecks[c]+'\n';
}
alert(items);
}
}
//-->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<div>
<a id="link" href="#">itemize the array</a>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Works Ok but when you click it multiple times (in FireFox anyway) it duplicates each line.

First click looks like this:
MY NAME
YOUR NAME
HIS NAME

Second click looks like this:
MY NAME
YOUR NAME
HIS NAME
MY NAME
YOUR NAME
HIS NAME

Hi there gillweb,

sorry about that, I did not check for multiple clicks. :o :o :o
No problem, though. :agree:
The highlighted line will take care of it. ;)

Hi Jon

alert(nochecks.join("\n"))
Right, that's it. I've done enough code bloat. :o :o :o

I think it's time for me to take up knitting.
