variable declarations in an array

[jbetts1967]

hello,

just wondering if this could be changed from the following:

T1 = new Array("graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif",80,31,"graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif",80,31,
"graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif",80,31,"graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif",80,31,
"graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif",80,31,"graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif",80,31)

to a variable declaration: replace the "graphics/cursor/valentine1.gif", with a variable name: T1 = new Array("' + cursor-name + '",80,31).

to where instead of the cursor being "harded coded" it is a variable.

thanks,
john....

foo = 'cursor5'
T1 = new Array("graphics/" + foo + "/valentine1.gif",80,31,

[jbetts1967]

foo = 'cursor5'
T1 = new Array("graphics/" + foo + "/valentine1.gif",80,31,

so with the above statement, it would also work like this:

foo = 'valentine1'
T1 = new Array("graphics/cursor/" + foo + ".gif", 80 ,31)

BTW, There is no need to use "new Array" - It's better to use var array = [];

You can also mix and match as much as you like in arrays:

var name = 'Mickey Mouse';
var foo = 'hello' + ' ' + name;
var array = [
	foo,
	1+2,
	1000,
	'a string',
	{
		prop1: 'value 1',
		prop2: 'value 2'
	},
	['a','b','c','d','e']
];

hello all,

i have another queston, look at the CSS code below:

<style type="text/css"> body { cursor: url('graphics/cursor/romantic_1.cur'); } a {cursor: url('graphics/cursor/bible_1.cur');}</style>

the question is, is it possible to have variables in the above statement? like this:

<style type="text/css"> body { cursor: url(cursor1); } a {cursor: url(cursor2);}</style>

where the hard coded URL 'graphics/cursor/romantic_1.cur' is replaced with the variable name cursor1?

or is variables not allowed in CSS...

thanks,
john....

You cannot place JavaScript vairables in CSS - but you can apply inline styles to an element using JavaScript:

element.style.cursor = 'url(' + cursor1 + ')';

i have tried to implement the above and cant get it to work.... how do you implement te above so it will change the cursor. do you place it inside the <script></script> or is it called someother way....

thanks

that is javascript.

element would be a DOM element.
