filling array value where part of value is always constant

[llamatron]

I need to fill up an array so that it reads user1, user2, user3 etc.

My code looks like this :

<script>
var myname = new Array(11);
for (i=0; i<11;i++){
myname=user+;
}

</script>

I keep getting a javascript error. Why is this syntax wrong?
Thanks,

aaagh course last line should read:

myname=user+;
}
</script>

Please help....

why is it leaving square brackets out,
this forum is as user friendly as javascript

<script>

var myname = new Array(11);

for (i=0; i<11;i++){
myname = &quot;user&quot; + i;
}

</script>

yeah, strange it's leaving them out, and everything is getting italicized as well

anyway, just encapsulate the constant part in quotes

Use [ignore]

[/ignore] tags around your code to stop [ignore][/ignore] being interpreted as a directive to italicise your code.

Either that or use a variable name other than 'i' for subscripting your arrays.

Okay fair enough, but do you know how to solve my original problem?

You want an array of strings with incremental numbers appended to them?

var prefix = "user";
var numElements = 11;
var startAt = 1;

var stringArray = new Array();

for(var count = 0; count < numElements; count++){
 stringArray[count] = prefix + startAt;
 startAt++;
}

alert(stringArray);
