object with array type string causing a typeError

Question

The best way to explain this is just to show you.

var condition = 70;
var formnames = new Array("wheelcheckbox1", "wheelcheckbox2","spokecheckbox","spokecheckbox2","tirecheckbox","tirecheckbox2","tirecheckbox3");

formnames.forEach(function(entry) {
   console.log(obj.entry);
   if(obj.entry == "") {
       condition = condition - 10;
   }
});

as you can see I used the console log to show how it needs to work as that works perfect, however, using the array causes an error as they're strings and not what the obj wants, it wants text without it being a string.

Any ideas?

Code should be posted here; the site has ample provisions for it. — Pointy

for..in should not be used to iterate over an array. Consider using forEach instead.

Oh, there's obj somewhere outside of the posted code. Then Pointy's comment above is correct.
