i am not sure what you are trutinf to accomplish looking at that line of code alone, but the first thing that comes to mind is your "=="
"==" means comparison and not value assignment.
i.e. var a = 5 assigns the value of 5 to "a"
while if (a ==5) checks if the value of a is 5 or not

loop usually goes like this
for (i=number; i<other_number; i++) {
actions here
}
and your loop does not seem to follow that syntax.

or am i totally off here???

That looks incomplete, you need three parts inside the for () condition and you've only got two listed.

for (initilization,test,increment) ...

*lol*, so i was right after all, just could not phrase it as nicely as Roy did. what a boost to my ego! :o ;) :D

thank you both there was nothing wrong with the conditions just the way my loop was setup, thank you fro your examples
