Hey guys its strange but seems I'm having some problems getting for loops to work for me.
I am trying to set the 'Next' link to get the text boxes at the bottom to loop through the array I created with the submit button and top text boxes. It seemed to work out just fine when i created just two array elements. But when I had up to five elements I discovered that my Next button skips looping through the whole array and just displays the very last element. That is what my 'Last' link is supposed to do.
Who can help me out?

From your code, the loop will always return the last element, you didn't specify the next element.
The loop will finish and return the last element

You are pointing out the obvious. I know I'm making a mistake and I need a solution

I dnt use Javascript... But i think this should work.

Create a global variable counter and set it to zero.

Then in each of the next and previous function calls, increment and decrement by +1/-1 for each click. You can also get the length of the employees array and use an if statement to avoid array error.

I hope this helps.

Funny enough I just got an idea similar to this. I'll try it out later. Thanks a bunch.
I don't get your meaning on using the employee.length to avoid array error though

You welcome.
So the counter wudnt go beyond the array length.

Oh. Of course

Please use a generator function which gives you the ultimate power
to enter, grab items, pause, exit, re-enter, re-grab, re-pause, re-exit, etc . . .
a loop or function expression at will.

Your next element on your UI will just call next() and that loop
will behave like a loyal slave on steroids.

Arrgghh. I don't really understand generators yet

One day @ a time .

Solved it yet? Else, bundle the code in a zip file and send me the link.

Just looking at the jargons you guys are spewing up there. I don’t even understand a thing.

Your employer is giving you disarray

Partly. Did some work on it last night. Both links work now. I'm just having trouble with handling the incrementation and decrementation of the counterfor Next and Prev (i++ and i--) respectively to keep it within the 0 - employees.length range. So far until my laptop ranout last night I used if (i < 0){i = 0} to reset the counter at the beginning of the Next function to reset any negative values for i but it results in displaying the first output twice. So I'm still trying to figure out the proper if logic to use. Shouldnt be an issue though. Im just starting so a bit slow. Thanks for the support man. I'm trying to be employable as a developer by march

Do you expect people to download the screenshot and debug for you?

While you're here naysaying and crap, some folks actually did help. So what exactly is your point in this comment?

Writing out the code on a webpage will make it easier for people to read and debug.
