2 questions about loops...

[mackey333]

ok here is my loop:

function startLoop() {

	num = 96

	for (i=0; i<num; i++) {
	
		iShow = i++
	
		document.getElementById('divMover + i').style.visibility = 'hidden';
		document.getElementById('divMover + iShow').style.visibility = 'visible';
	
	}
		
}

this loop is supposed to go through and hide the division divMover with whatever number i is (if i is 3 it hides the division divMover3), then show the div with the value of i plus 1..I'm guessing that I didn't put that string together right because it dosen't work. Also is there away to set a timeout to make it wait before the next cycle through?

No, annoying I know - the timeout seems to be set, and then the next line is executed. Another problem you might have is getting different delays (if you want them). What you could do though, is put all the relevant info in an Array - so it is obtainable from your single index.

To make the string work use something like:
document.getElementById('divMover' + i).style.visibility = 'hidden';
the integer should be converted automatically.


The other thing that may be happening is incrementing i twice, if this happens just put iShow = (i+1);
