Hi and welcome to TSDN. Hope you'll have a great time here.
So what code have you written for this so far?

Sort the array column with the value that your after. The last row in the array should be the maximum value

**rohitchawla** · Oct 11 '07, 07:12 AM

u can try this

[CODE=javascript]
var x=new Array(3,4,5,6);
var j=0;
for(i=0;i<x.len gth;i++)
{
if(x[i]>x[j])
j=i;
}
alert(x[j]);
[/CODE]
