syntax of for...loop with counter increase by 1/2 1

[charlotte49er]

I am trying to populate a select box with values beginning with the var minHt and increasing by 0.5 until I reach maxHt. So the select box would list 25, 25.5, 26, etc. Here is the code snippet I have tried below but when I attempt to run it the browsers hang. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

for (i = minHt; i <= maxHt; i+0.5) {
  elevContent += '<option>' + i; 
}

Duh, as soon as I posted the question I came up with a solution. However, it would seem that you could accomplish the same thing by updating i in the "for" line.

for (i = minHt; i <= maxHt; i) {
  elevContent += '<option>' + i; 
  i = i+.5;
}

Or....


for (i = minHt; i <= maxHt; i+=.5) {
elevContent += '<option>' + i;
}

Or....


for (i = minHt; i <= maxHt; i+=((((100/10) * .5)/5)+(1 -.5))) {
elevContent += '<option>' + i;
}

it's friday........

correction

for (i = minHt; i <= maxHt; i+=((((100/10) * .5)/5)+(1 -1.5))) {
elevContent += '<option>' + i;
}

it's definitely friday when I'm debugging silly code....

Thx mwolf00. I knew I was missing something that was pretty simple. And kaht, you're killing me ! That's just what I needed to head into the weekend.
