For loop in Javascript runs only once
- by user592748
Here is my code. I do not quite understand why the for loop runs only once, both inner and outer. nodeList.length and innerNodeList.length show appropriate values when I generate alert messages. I see that both i and j do not increment beyond 0. Kindly point out anything wrong with the code.
function getCategoryElements() {
var newCategoryDiv = document.getElementById("category");
var nodeList = newCategoryDiv.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < nodeList.length; ++i) {
var innerNodeList = nodeList[i].childNodes;
alert("innerNodeList Length" + innerNodeList.length.toString());
for (var j = 0; j < innerNodeList.length; ++j) {
if (innerNodeList[j].nodeName == "SELECT") {
alert("inside select Node value " + innerNodeList[j].nodeValue.toString());
document.getElementById("newCategories").value =
document.getElementById("newCategories").value + '<%=delimiter%>' + innerNodeList[j].nodeValue;
} else if (innerNodeList[j].nodeName == "TEXTAREA") {
document.getElementById("newCategoriesData").value =
document.getElementById("newCategoriesData").value + '<%=delimiter%>' + innerNodeList[j].nodeValue;
}
}
}
}
