hi,

new to the forum, I am trying to get an alert to show all of the items defined by “G_items” I am using this code

when I do

[CODE]alert(G_items);[/CODE]

it works fine, but when I add a variable saying

[CODE]var id = g_items;[/CODE]

then in the alert say

[CODE]alert(id);[/CODE]

it just gives me undefined :S can anyone help

@FangNov 13.2009 — What is G_items and g_items? They are different variables.

@jamesbcox1980Nov 13.2009 — There is nothing wrong with setting one variable to another. Your problem most likely lies in setting g_items. Can you provide us with the entire JS file? Also, please remember that copying/pasting code is the best way to do post here, because your error could rely in spelling or syntax, which might be an error you might not make typing it directly here. (in other words, you might not make the same error twice)

@ChadAyersNov 14.2009 — From what I'm understanding form your message is that your looking to have a JavaScript Array and then have all the array items displayed as an alert? If this is what you are looking for, I just wrote an article on my website with details:

Success!
