Using a string as loop expressions and conditions
The following loop works:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
for (i=0;i<=5;i++)
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
But the following:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
var x="i=0;i<=5;i++"
for (x)
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
I just wanted to create a simple variable. Please carry me as I am new to JavaScript and let me know what I am missing.
Let me provide a sample Google Gadget:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Sample Gadget" />
<UserPref name="order"
display_name="Results Order"
default_value="i = 0; i <= 5; i++" datatype="enum">
<EnumValue value="i = 0; i <= 5; i++" display_value="Ascending"/>
<EnumValue value="i = 5; i >= 0; i--" display_value="Descending"/>
</UserPref>
<Content type="html"><![CDATA[
<script type="text/javascript">
var i=0;
for (__UP_order__)
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
}
</script>
]]></Content>
</Module>
This does not work because of the <> tags (they are not supported), and so I tried to define a variable for the value of EnumValue.

When you say var x="i=0;i<=5;i++", you create a text string. This is not interpreted by JavaScript as you expect.
. , , , "hello" "sdflkjsdflkjsdflj". JavaScript , / . , , - ...
var i=0;
var start=0; //you can change the start position by changing this
var end=5; //and you can change the end also
for (i=start;i<=end;i++)
{
document.write("The number is " + i);
document.write("<br />");
}
