Array

[shannon]

Hi,

Anybody got any suggestions about using two arrays. First i need to
ask the user their name and if their require a seat between 1and 5 or
between 6 and 10. I need to assign this information in two arrays.
Any suggestions. I have been working on this so far.
<script type="text/javascript">


var theArray = new Array(10);


//var sizeOfArray = parseInt(prompt("How many items will the array
have?", ""));


for(i=0; i<10; i++)
{

theArray = prompt( "Please enter your name");
}

for(i=0; i<theArray.length; i++)
{

document.writeln( "theArray[" + i + " ] = " + theArray + "<br />");
}
</script>

Why?

It is an assignment i'm working on and i'm not sure how to store user
information into an array. The full spec. the Reservation System
assignment already posted up yesterday. I don't expect the solution
just some help.
Here is another piece i'm working on but not sure what to do next.
SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

var passengerName; // first string entered by user
var seatType; // second string entered by user
var classType;



passengerName = window.prompt( "Enter your name:", "0" );


seatType = window.prompt( "For First Class type 1 or 2 for
Economy:", "0" );


if (seatType == 1)
{
classType = "First Class";
}
else
{
classType = "Economy";
}

document.writeln( "<H1>Boarding Pass Information</H1>" );
document.writeln( "<TABLE BORDER = \"1\"" + "WIDTH = \"40%\">");


document.writeln( "<TR><TD>" + "<b>" +"NAME:" + "</b>" +
"</TD></TR>" );


document.writeln( "<TR><TD>" + passengerName +
"</TD></TR>" );


document.writeln( "<TR><TD>" + "<b>" + "SEAT TYPE"+ "</b>" +
"</TD></TR>" );


document.writeln( "<TR><TD>" + seatType+
"</TD></TR>" );


document.writeln( "<TR><TD>" + "<b>" + "CLASS TYPE"+ "</b>" +
"</TD></TR>" );


document.writeln( "<TR><TD>" + classType +
"</TD></TR>" );


document.writeln( "</TABLE>" );
</SCRIPT>

The questin was why two array's?


name = new Array()
seatchoice = new Array()
// no size values needed here


name[0] = "aName"
seatchoice[0] = "1to5"

name[1] = "otherName"
seatchoice[1] = "6to10"

etc.

===========

btw, I should have a look into how other people set up a html page:

1 Do not use document.write() where simple html suffices.
document.writeln() is not usefull, since you probably cannot see the
HTML resulting source anyway. However I would suggest not using write()
at all.

2 First finish the page and then ask for the user input,
preferably in a form to be submitted. Yo can submit to the same page.
using prompt() is not very user friendly, as they cannot correct during
the inputting of the total information.

3 I cannot see what you want to accomplish by putting the info in an
array.
