Using an array in Javascript

Expand Post »

Hi. I need some help with arrays in JavaScript. I am creating a slideshow and have to store the images in an array on a separate file. I need some feedback as far as am I missing something in this file and how can I then call this array into my slideshow file? So far, I have:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<script type="text/javascript">
 
	// Create an array to hold image filenames
	var images = new Array();
 
	// Populate array with image filenames
	imgname[0] = 'home.jpg';
	imgname[1] = 'beach.jpg';
	imgname[2] = 'pool.jpg';
	imgname[3] = 'garden.jpg';
	imgname[4] = 'pond.jpg';
	imgname[5] = 'car.jpg';
 
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">

	// Create an array to hold image filenames
	var images = new Array();
 
	// Populate array with image filenames
	imgname[0] = 'home.jpg';
	imgname[1] = 'beach.jpg';
	imgname[2] = 'pool.jpg';
	imgname[3] = 'garden.jpg';
	imgname[4] = 'pond.jpg';
	imgname[5] = 'car.jpg';

</script>

Re: Using an array in Javascript

You create a new array

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
var images = new Array();
var images = new Array();

and then you want to reference

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
imgname[0] = 'home.jpg';
...
imgname[0] = 'home.jpg';
...

..hmmm! names do not match.

Also, creating a new array, does not create a new array if images... you may want to create the elements of the array as:

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
images[0] = new image();
image[0].src = 'home.jpg';
 
...
images[0] = new image();
image[0].src = 'home.jpg';

...
