How do you get this to loop:

Code:

function expand(id)
{
	var layer = document.getElementById(id).style;
	if(i != 60)
		{
			i += 1;
			layer.width = i + "%";
		}
	time = setTimeout("expand(" + id + ")", 1000)
}

I can't get it to start the time again with the id passed through:(

If you need it to loop use a for or while loop. IF you don't know how many times you will need to loop, use while, otherwise use if.

I tried for but I think IF is the best solution.

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 03-16-2008, 01:19 PM

IF you think IF is the best solution, then you need to add an increment to keep the loop going. Personally, though I do not know why you are doing this or what for, but for or while would be my #1 pick.

It's the beginning of a drop down menu, I'm just doing a few tests before I do the proper version.
And it needs to be IF so I can place a timer on it so it works at a certain speed.

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 03-16-2008, 02:25 PM

Ah ok. You got the solution worked out or you still need the loop. Assuming you do, try...

Code:

function expand(id)
{
	var layer = document.getElementById(id).style;
	if(i != 60)
		{
			i += 1;
			layer.width = i + "%";
		}
	time = setInterval("expand(" + id + ")", 1000)
}

Without seeing your code I can't be sure whether the parameters of the setInterval is correct.

I tried it but it wouldn't past the ID through the loop:S:S

I shall have another attempt later on in the week and post it.
Many thanks.

There are many different ways to loop your code and it looks like you are close with what your thinking is.

What type of script is this? A forum?

Huh?

It's for an animated drop down menu.
