I have a field named tags. The input to this field can be any number of strings,depending on the user.And I need to store those strings in separate variable names. I tried something like this:
var tagsInputArray = ["a", "b"......n elements];
var tagsLength = tagsInputArray.length;
var count = 0;
for (count; count < tagsLength; count++) {
var tags[count] = tagsInputArray[count];
}
This is not working. How can I do it in jQuery?
length is not defined anywhere you probably need to use tagsLength in loop
for(count;count<tagsLength ;count++){
You also have error for var tags[count] = tagsInputArray[count]; as this is wrong syntax for declaring array. Removing the var key word would remove the error and your code would work.
var tagsInputArray = ["a", "b"];
var tagsLength = tagsInputArray.length;
var count = 0;
var tags = [];
for (count; count < tagsLength; count++)
tags[count] = tagsInputArray[count];
for (count = 0; count < tags.length; count++)
alert(tags[count]);
I would also recommend to use .push to add array element to other array, see this demo.
tags.push(tagsInputArray[count]);
Try this:
var tagsInputArray = ["a", "b"......n elements];
var tags = [];
for (var count = 0; count < tagsInputArray.length; count++) {
tags[count] = tagsInputArray[count];
}
console.log(tags);
The problem with your code is that
var tags[count] = tagsInputArray[count];
inside for loop, tags is undefined and you are adding elements inside it. I've solved it by defining tags as array before for loop and then inserted elements inside it.
