what i decided to do is unroll the loop, for example:
if you have this loop:
for(var i = 0; i = 9; ++i) alert(i);
then you could unroll it to this:
alert(0);
alert(1);
alert(2);
...
alert(9);
since i only had a total of 9 iterations of the loop, then it would only add
a little bit to filesize
but even then I will end up packing the js file when all is fully functional
later, so that then becomes not really and issue either
thanks though,

You might want to doublecheck that when you click the elements you
took out of the loop, you really get what you say. Given your example,
if you click #page2 it should alert 'page3' also.
You don't really need the loop to attach the click and get at the
number if it's part of the id:
$('div[id^=page]').click(function(){
console.log('page ' + this.id.replace(/page/,'') + ' clicked.');
});
Try Googling global variables, scope, and closures in JavaScript.

I have a webpage that searches a database using a php script to search
the database and a jQuery app on the page to retrieve the results and
show them. So it works fine, but then I want to add page number
buttons to allow the user to go to different pages of the results.
So I have a DIV with the id of page_buttons and I use the following
code:http://pastebin.com/m3dffbf99
I use the offset and the results per page like this in a MySQL query
in the php script: SELECT LIMIT offset,
resultsPerPage by the way.
So anyways, the problem I am having is that if I have a loop like
this:
var pageNum = 6;
...
for(var i = 0; i = pageNum; ++i)
{
$(#page + i).click(function() { alert('page ' + i + '
clicked.'); });
}
The elements with IDs of page1, page2,... are buttons, and I
tested the above loop. What happens is if I click any of the buttons
with IDs of page1, page2,.. then they all alert with the string
page 7 clicked. All the page buttons 1-6 display the string page 7
clicked.
To try to greater understand this problem I took the functionality out
of the loop like this:
var i = 2;
$(#page + i).click(function() { alert('page ' + i + '
clicked.'); });
i = 3;
$(#page + i).click(function() { alert('page ' + i + '
clicked.'); });
and it worked just fine with page2 alerting page 2 clicked and
page3 alerting with page 3 clicked.
So I was hoping someone could help me in explaining why this issue
occurs and if there was a better way to do what I'm trying to do.
Thanks,
