Passing an array into a function

JavaScript
1

Hi everybody :slight_smile:

I’m having a little problem with some “Javascript Closure”, that I can’t seem to figure out.

I’m using a combination of PHP & Javascript to take twitter location variables & place them on a map. So far the PHP is fine, but the problem lies in that the window that is displayed (when the user clicks on a point) contains the last value associated with the variable (if that makes sense!) - the variable in question is “twittername”.

Here’s the code so far that’s run in a loop to plot the variables, usePointFromPostcode is called:-

function createMarker(point,html,icon) {
        var marker = new GMarker(point,icon);
        GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
          marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
        });
        return marker;
}


function usePointFromPostcode(postcode, twittername) {
	
	localSearch.setSearchCompleteCallback(null, 
		function() {
			
			if (localSearch.results[0])
			{		
				var resultLat = localSearch.results[0].lat;
				var resultLng = localSearch.results[0].lng;
				var point = new GLatLng(resultLat,resultLng);
				var marker = new createMarker(point,twittername,icon); 
				map.addOverlay(marker);
			}else{
				alert("Postcode not found!");
			}
		});	
		
	localSearch.execute(postcode + ", UK");

}

What I am thinking of doing is instead of passing two variables to usePointFromPostcode, instead I pass through an array (or two arrays), containing all the values from postcode & twittername. Loop through the function multiple times, and display the results.

However, I’ve been unable to pass an array successfully into a function, can this be done?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated! :slight_smile:
