270617 2004-09-09 05:08:00 Hey guys. I'm stuck on a javascript problem again.

Here tis

<script language ="javascript">

function initialize(A,Name,Phone,Gender,Age,School)
{
var A=new Array();

A[0] = Name;
A[1] = Phone;
A[2] = Gender;
A[3] = Age;
A[4] = School;

}

var amate, amate1, amate2

initialize(amate,"Nick","4288666","M","18","Employed");
initialize(amate1,"Feral","4285593","M","18","Employed");
initialize(amate2,"Dirty","4283184","M","17","Employed");

document.write("<table><th>Name</th><th>Phone</th><th>Gender</th><th>Age</th><th>School</th><tr>");

for(var i=0; i<5; i++)
{
document.write("<td>"+amate[i]+"</td>");
}

document.write("</tr>");

for(var i=0; i<5; i++)
{
document.write("<td>"+amate1[i]+"</td>");
}

document.write("</tr>");

for(var i=0; i<5; i++)
{
document.write("<td>"+amate2[i]+"</td>");
}

document.write("</tr></table>");

document.write("

The number of elements in the array is "+amate.length);

</script>

The problem is, it throws an error saying amate is not an object line 25 char 3 (first for loop). What have i done wrong? 		willie_M (5608)
270618 2004-09-09 05:12:00 Does it need a semicolon after you declared the variables Rob99 (151)
270619 2004-09-09 06:31:00 It appeas to be how the array is filled and displayed. My previous suggestion probally will make no difference. Do you have to use initialize to fill the arrays? Or are you allowd to do it another way. Rob99 (151)
270620 2004-09-09 06:41:00 I agree with you Rob - I don't think the arrays need to be initialised.

just a
amate = ("whatever1","whatever2",etc) would do the trick. 		antmannz (28)

What? I have to use the initialize function to define the parameters... 		willie_M (5608)
