Javascript Array

  Asked By: Tracey    Date: Apr 11    Category: Java    Views: 817
  

In Java we have Vector. And we can add elements in vector using
addElements. Now, I got an Array in JavaScript and I want to add
elements in javascript as well. I created new array like this
var newArray = new Array();
// here I want to add elements dynamically,

Is it Possible ?

As you probably know, javascript  handles objects in odd ways compared
to java  and other languages. It is possible to have an array  grow
dynamically in Javascript. Here is a code snippit:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide this script from incompatible browsers!

var stuff = new Array(3)
stuff[1] = "hello"
stuff[2] = 27
stuff[3] = 8.5
stuff[5] = "element number 5"
for( i = 1; i <= 5; i++){
document.writeln("stuff[" + i + "] = " + stuff[i]);
}
-->
------------------------------------------------

Here is the output:

stuff[1] = hello
stuff[2] = 27
stuff[3] = 8.5
stuff[4] = undefined
stuff[5] = element number 5

-------------------------------------------------

Notice that while we define the array as having indices 1 to 3, we
extend it by assigning a value to element number 5.

But, my question is this.

var stuff = new Array() ;
In your message you said
stuff[1] = "string"
stuff[2] = "string2"

But, my question is how would I increse the Index value ( stuff[] ).
The new value I get that can be set like this

stuff[] = "newvalue' // but again how would I or what shold I put in
stuff[]. I hope you understand my question..
