    Returning the complete contents of an array to another function

    All,

    Sorry for the 101 question but I can't figure out how to return all of the
    contents of an array to another function. I been able to figure out how to
    return individual elements of the array like "return newArray[3]" would
    return the value of value4 in the code below but not the complete array.

    <html>
    <head>
    <title></title>

    <script language="javas cript">
    function tmp(){
    var newArray = new Array("value1", "value2","value 3","value4") ;

    return newArray????;
    }

    function test(){

    document.write( tmp())
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="test()" >

    </body>
    </html>


    Any guidance will be appreciated.
    CES

      Your argument passing is fine as written.
      Don't call document.write( ) in the body's onload handler.
      That makes the page load, and then changes the contents.
      It's better to call your function as the body is loading:


      <html>
      <head>
      <title></title>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function tmp(){
      var newArray = new Array("value1", "value2","value 3","value4") ;
      return newArray;
      }

      function test(){
      document.write( tmp())
      }
      </script>
      </head>
      <body>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      test();
      </script>

      </body>
      </html>
