John,

Not sure whether you have seen my recent post but just one last point!

Re the conflict with prototype.js - the problem I am told is probably
the use of for/in to iterate over the Next values. It certainly seems
to be so as when I try using the "vanilla" type of iteration I can add
the link to prototype.js and do not get the associated error message.

But! I have tried

for (J=0;J<Next.len gth;++J){
F["B"+Next[J]].disabled = false;
DoSpecificTask[State](F);
}

This is not correct and comes up with "Next has no properties" on
answering the 4th question.

What would be the correct "vanilla" type iteration to replace your
following code?

for (J in Next) F["B"+Next[J]].disabled = false
DoSpecificTask[State](F)

Cheers

Geoff

the code below avoids the error "Next has no properties" by adding an
extra item to Arry. But what I need is a way to stop the cycle rather
than start it all over again...cannot yet see how to do this?

Cheers

Geoff

var Arry = [
/* State 0 : */ [1,2],
/* State 1 : */ [3],
/* State 2 : */ [3],
/* State 3 : */ [4,5],
/* State 4 : */ [6],
/* State 5 : */ [6],
/* State 6 : */ [7,8],
/* State 7 : */ [9],
/* State 8 : */ [9],
/* State 9 : */ [10,11],
/* State 10 : */ [0]] // extra item added


var result =new Array();
var test_num=1;
function A(f)
{
soundManager.pl ay('mySound'+te st_num ,'../assets/audio-group1/Track' +
(+test_num + 22) + '.mp3');
}
function B(f)
{
result[test_num] = "same";
test_num++;
}

function C(f)
{
result[test_num] = "different" ;
test_num++;
}

function D(f) {
alert('finished ');
}

DoSpecificTask = [A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B, C ]

function Fn(Arg) {
var F = Arg.form, State, J, Next;
State = Arg.name.substr ing(1,3);
for (J=0 ; J<12 ; J++) F["B"+J].disabled = true; // clear all
Next = Arry[State];

//for (J in Next) F["B"+Next[J]].disabled = false;
//DoSpecificTask[State](F);

for (var J = 0; J < Next.length; ++J) {
var item = Next[J];
F["B"+item].disabled = false;
}
DoSpecificTask[State](F);

}

function getResults() {
for (var i=1;i<5;i++) {
alert(result[i]);
}
}

John,

You will be pleased to hear that all is well at last!

I have used the vanilla iteration and prototype.js is OK. My solution
is not very elegant I expect but it works ...

Many thanks for your help.

You said, I think, that you have no such problem until you use
prototype.js; therefore, you should ask someone who knows that
prototype.js.

A Wikipedia search for prototype.js offers an amusing diversity of
articles.

John,

You haven't seen my previous posting yet as all is now well!

The problem re prototype was solved by replacing the for/in by the
ordinary iteration.

In fact someone on the Yahoo Ruby on Rails/Prototype/Scriptaculous
group pointed out that the for/in caused the conflict.

Cheers

Geoff
