Javascript arrays are just like any other object orientated language, in the aspect an array is a block of memory associated with main object. To create an array in Javascript just need to call
The code below is using a default screen from which you press the ‘Click Here’ button and the array is used to insert into a <div> html tag. To insert into a div tag within javascript, there needs to be a new node created and in this instance a text node is created which in turn is appended to the div.
The code hopefully will explain more.
<html>
<script language="javascript">
// setup the main array
var setArray = Array("hi", "there", "this", "is", "a","test");
// insert the array into the DIV smalltest object
function insertArray()
{
var theText = ""; // set the theText output to an empty string otherwise it would start with null.
for (var i=0; i < setArray.length; i++)
{
// create the array of text to insert
theText += setArray[i];
}
// create the createTextNode
var insertText = document.createTextNode(theText);
document.getElementById("smalltest").appendChild(insertText);
}
</script>
<body>
Just a small test,
<div id="smalltest">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="click here" onclick="javascript:insertArray()" />
</body>
</html> |
