1Accespted Javascript Array Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:12 am

Javascript Array
Working with arrays in JavaScript


Hello members of WebArtz, I am Mr.Joker and today I will try to teach you what is an Array. Well, as a name say allready an Array can store some values inside it. For example an array in real life example is :
-Computer, Mouse, Desk , etc.
So thats an Array. But what for we need an Array while coding. Well here is one example of Array:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var movies = new Array(3);
movies[0] = "Titanic";
movies[1] = "V for Vendetta";
movies[2] = "Matrix 1";
for (i=0;i<3;i++)
document.write(movies[i] + "<br />")
</script>

Ok, lets explain a code. We have a variable movies but a value of that variable is a new Array. So I will add several values to single variables. Yes, it is possible because of arrays. In next line i write variable and inside this brackets i add a number 0 which mean that variable is the first one. Computer always count from 0 as you know allready. And now i add some value to that variable. In next row I add number 1 inside brackets which is a new value for variable movies. Now simple add another movie. And do the same for last movie Matrix. Now, If i want to write all 3 movies at once on the screen i can do that by writing document.write(movie[0] + "<br />") and 2 more times that for each movie but its wasting of time. I just simple use for loop and say that there is variable i with value zero. There is condition that say if variable i is less then 3 increase that variable value by the time till it become 3. Why 3? Its because i have 3 movies inside Array. Now i said while that loop exists i want to write document.write(movies[i] + break)... Why like this? Well as you know when variable i have starting value 0 it start to increase. I used that inside movies because i dont want to waste my time to write numbers each time. A computer will do that for me. Its so simple to understand how Array works. As i promesd I will explan you code i gived you in last tutorial which is this one:

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
Rollimage = new Array()
Rollimage[0] = new Image()
Rollimage[0].src = "http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2686/test1r.png"
Rollimage[1] = new Image()
Rollimage[1].src = "http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/7528/test2zx.png"
function over() {
document.image.src = Rollimage[1].src;
return true;
}
function back() {
document.image.src = Rollimage[0].src;
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="www.google.com" onMouseover="over()" onMouseout="back()">
<img src="http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2686/test1r.png" name="image" border="0"></img></a>
</body>
</html>

Lets start. I declare a variable Rollimage and set it to new Array. When i write Rollimage[0] = new Image(); i say now that that variable have a value of image. And then in next row I use again same variable but with .src because i want to set a URL of image. Then i create another variable with value of image and set some URL for it again. Then i write a function called over because I want to declare what will happend if I use mouse over image. There I say:
Code:
document.image.src = Rollimage[1].src;
return true;
Its simple for me to understand but for you its hard because I still didnt exaplined how to access to elements of forms. Just understand it like this. In image tag i named it image and thats why i say document.image, if I named it something_else i would say document.something_else. src I add because I want some image be screen but which one? Of course it depend which one you want, and i Used the other color which is second variable. Then i do the another function wich will return a begining image back after we use mouse out event. Its really simple and I really have nothing else to add here. If you are still confused what I did you can just ask me in thread.
