"for loop" works in FF but not in IE

Patrick Sullivan · Jun 9, 2006

In this for loop, IE skips over the animation function until the end of the
loop and only aninmates the last phrase. Firefox does it right. Loop is
right below, entire script is below that. This script uses the Yahoo GUI
library (beta) for animation.

for (var c=0; c < index; c++) {
document.getElementById("sample").innerText = myArray[c];
var myanim = new YAHOO.util.Anim('sample', {
fontSize: {from: 0, to: 50},
opacity: {from: 0.5, to: 1}
}, 2);
myanim.animate();

if (c >= myArray.length)
c=0;
};
};

Firefox executes that statement without a syntax error? I ask because FF
doesn't support innerText in any form unless you create it yourself.

heheh, firefox did much better than IE. innerText has been incorporated into
several browsers besides IE. I know it's not standards compliant. I am doing
it entirely different now, using innerhtml. Also not standards compliant.
thanks guys.
