Question

How do I store values into an array or hash to be recalled individually without adding individual identifier?

var myarray = [];
$(".express").each(function () {
  myarray.push($(this).text()); 
});

function flashEXPRESS() {
   $(".express").each(function () {
     if ($(this).text() == 'NEW') { $(this).text() = myarray[???]; }
     else { $(this).text() == 'NEW'}
   });
}
var flashEXPRESSid = 0;
flashEXPRESSid = setInterval("flashEXPRESS()",1000);

The callback to each gives you the index as the first parameter. That’s probably what you need.

$(".express").each(function (index) {
     if ($(this).text() == 'NEW') { $(this).text() = myarray[index]; }
     else { $(this).text() == 'NEW'}
});
