Question

I am trying to make a counter in jquery something like this…

for(counter = 1;counter<4;counter++){
}

would this work?

Well I am just saying the loop as a test…what I am ultimately trying to do is remove duplicate images from this code…

            // Preloads images within a rel group
            if (settings.preloading) {
                preload = [
                    getIndex(-1),
                    getIndex(1)
                ];
                while (i = $related[preload.pop()]) {
                    src = $.data(i, colorbox).href || i.href;
                    if ($.isFunction(src)) {
                        src = src.call(i);
                    }
                    if (isImage(src)) {
                        img = new Image();
                        img.src = src;
                    }

                }

yes, I would do

for (var counter = 0; counter < 4; counter++) {

to be more explicit.
