nested for loop question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 10.2006

for (var jsNot=0;jsNot<10;jsNot++)
{
document.write(“JavaScript is not Java!<br>”);

for (jsNot2=1;jsNot2<2;jsNot2++)

{
document.write(“Are you getting this?<br>”);
}
}

why does the jsNot2 variable in the nested loop automatically get reset to 1 ?

would appreciate it if somebody would be able to explain this to me,

@A1ien51Nov 10.2006 — because it is being set to 1

for ([B]jsNot2=1[/B];jsNot2<2;jsNot2++)

@aguntherNov 10.2006 — Since jsNot2 is inside the first loop, it is reset. If you want it to increment globally, place jsNot2=1 before the first loop and jsNot2++ inside the second loop. You will need a different incrementer such as (i=1;i<2;i++) for the second loop.
