I can’t manage to make the line in the code with all the asterisks

  • 0

I can’t manage to make the line in the code with all the asterisks to work. Can anyone help? The function works fine, it is just the document.write('This will not print'); that doesn’t actually work. What is the problem?

//UPDATE//

First of all, thanks for the quick replies. Now I will post the full code.
As you can see the variable ii is declared at the body.

    EDIT

    The problem is in your for loop

    for (newCount = 0; newCount <= ii; newCount++ )

    Should be

    for (newCount = 0; newCount < ii; newCount++ )

    You don’t have to put a semicolon after function, and ‘if’ and ‘for’ loops.

    Here is a better version of your code

    function runThis () {
    var fruta01 = document.getElementById('fruta').value;
    var color01 = document.getElementById('color').value;
    var problemo = true;

    for (newCount = 0; newCount <= ii; newCount++ )
    {
        if (storeArray[newCount].match(fruta01) && storeArray[newCount].match(color01) )
        {
            document.write(storeArray[newCount]+'<br/>');
            problemo = false;
        }
    }

    document.write('This will not print'); //**************************
}

    Just use console.log() or a simple alert if you want to check just that.
