How to break part of code using label and break statement in JavaScript?

Question

I want to make some part of my code stop looping, but keep looping for another variable. How can I possibly do that ? I tried this code but it's not working

// Looping based on number of data
for ( var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) {

    // Looping HTML table data output
    if ( !search || data[i].some(someSearch) ) {

        // Output table HTML + indexing number
        outputTable: {
            output += '<tr>';
            output += '<td>' + index + '</td>';

            for ( var j = 0; j < data[i].length; j++ ) {
                output += '<td>' + data[i][j] + '</td>';
            }

            output += '</tr>';

            index++;
        }

        // Data display limitation
        // based on combobox value
        if ( index > parseInt(searchLimit.val()) ) {
            break outputTable;
        }
    }

    // Count filtered data
    searchFiltered++;
}

From that code, I want to break the part of code inside outputTable label, but keep searchFiltered looping. Can someone help me? Thanks :)

if is a conditional statement not a loop, there is a loop in the if condition some . — Ajay Narain Mathur

@SebastianKaczmarek Yes sir I want to stop outputTable when index > parseInt(searchLimit.val()) statement is true. — imbagila

Then shouldn't the if statement be inside the outputTable loop? With the break line being just break;? — Ethan

No need to use break statement here. Put if condition like this. Every time the index value check it is lesser than parseInt(searchLimit.val()). if it is not it exit the if statement.

if ( index < parseInt(searchLimit.val()) ) {

 outputTable: {
            output += '<tr>';
            output += '<td>' + index + '</td>';

            for ( var j = 0; j < data[i].length; j++ ) {
                output += '<td>' + data[i][j] + '</td>';
            }

            output += '</tr>';

            index++;
        }
}
