Question

I am trying to run a for loop in Javascript and my code does not seem to be working. Any ideas?
My code is as follows right now:

var someData = [
 {
   id: 0,
   summary: "Event 1",
   startTime:  new Date(2012,0, 1, 10),
   endTime: new Date(2012,0, 1, 12),
   calendar: "Calendar1"
 },
 {
   id: 1,
   summary: "Event 2",
   startTime:  new Date(2012,0, 1, 14),
   endTime: new Date(2012,0, 1, 15),
   calendar: "Calendar2"
 }
];


var someData = 
    [
    for(i=0;i<2;i++)
    {
        {
        id:i,
    summary: "Some Event",
    startTime: new Date(2012,8,24,10),
        endTime: new Date(2012,8,24,13),
        calendar: "Calendar"
    },
   }
   ];

Thanks for any help!

You can’t mix code into a literal declaration. First create the array, then fill it with data:

var someData = [];

for(i=0;i<2;i++) {
  someData.push(
    {
      id:i,
      summary: "Some Event",
      startTime: new Date(2012,8,24,10),
      endTime: new Date(2012,8,24,13),
      calendar: "Calendar"
    }
  );
}
