    var total_questions = new Array();
    var total_answer = new Array();
        while(flag)
            {ldelim}
            var questions = document.getElementById("question_div_"+i);

                {rdelim}

    i=i+1; 
    {rdelim} 

    alert("hello");
{rdelim}
</script>

The above is my JS code which is running in a SMARTY template file on click of a button. The Code is Working Fine except that It Does not Run the Third Last Line i.e alert(“Hello”); any thing after the {redelim} is neglected. What to do ?

here is the code from the firebug:

<script type="text/javascript">
function prepare_values()
{
var flag= true;
var i=0;
var total_questions = new Array();
var total_answer = new Array();
while(flag)
{
var questions = document.getElementById("question_div_"+i);
if (questions == null)
{
flag=false;
alert("Value of flag = "+flag);
}
var answer = document.getElementById("answer_div_"+i);
total_questions[i]=questions.firstChild.innerHTML;
if(answer.firstChild.attributes['type'].value == 'text')
{
total_answer[i]=answer.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if(answer.firstChild.attributes['type'].value == 'textarea')
{
total_answer[i]=answer.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if(answer.firstChild.attributes['type'].value == 'radio_div')
{
var radio_button_parent = document.getElementById(answer.firstChild.id);
var oRadio = document.getElementsByName(radio_button_parent.firstChild.name);
for(var k = 0; k < oRadio.length; k++)
{
if(oRadio[k].checked)
{
var radio_button_value = document.getElementById(oRadio[k].id);
alert("From inside of ever = "+radio_button_value.nextSibling.innerHTML);
total_answer[i]=radio_button_value.nextSibling.innerHTML;
}
}
}
i=i+1;
}
alert("hello");
}
</script> 

Answer 1

I dont Know what is the issue in the code and why its not working as it is supposed to but this is how I got my code straight.

This is the new working code :

function prepare_values()
{
    var flag= true;
    var i=0;
    var total_questions = new Array();
    var total_answer = new Array();
    while(flag)
    {
        var questions = document.getElementById("question_div_"+i);
        if (questions == null)
            {
                break;
            }
        var answer = document.getElementById("answer_div_"+i);
        total_questions[i]=questions.firstChild.innerHTML;
        if(answer.firstChild.attributes['type'].value == 'text')
            {
                total_answer[i]=answer.firstChild.nodeValue;
            }
        if(answer.firstChild.attributes['type'].value == 'textarea')
            {
                total_answer[i]=answer.firstChild.nodeValue;
            }
        if(answer.firstChild.attributes['type'].value == 'radio_div')
        {
            var radio_button_parent = document.getElementById(answer.firstChild.id);
            var oRadio = document.getElementsByName(radio_button_parent.firstChild.name);
            for(var k = 0; k < oRadio.length; k++)
                {
                    if(oRadio[k].checked)
                    {
                        var radio_button_value = document.getElementById(oRadio[k].id);
                        alert("From inside of ever = "+radio_button_value.nextSibling.innerHTML);
                        total_answer[i]=radio_button_value.nextSibling.innerHTML;
                    }
                }
        }
    i=i+1;
    }

    alert("hello");
}

All I did is I replaced

if (questions == null)
{
    flag=false;
    alert("Value of flag = "+flag);
}

with

if (questions == null)
{
    break;
}

Though My problem is Solved I still want to know why my previous code was not working because it was still suppose to work as it was correct. If anyone can point out the problem please do so I will appreciate it.
