i have 50 times of looping with a counter, can i break it to 2 pages to do accumulation. this is an example:

i have a for loop,

for ( var i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
document.write "Number now is :" &i&"<BR>"
}

from the above example the result will be listed 50 lines of
Number now is :1
Number now is :2
Number now is :3
Number now is :4
Number now is :5
.
. until 50 times.
.
Number now is :50

but what i want is
when the loop run until i=25, it will stop for while and shown a link or button "Continue>>", when user click on it, the loop will continue runs from i=26 until 50? Just like PAUSE the loop then play back the loop. can javascript do that?

This any good?

<html>

<head>

<script>

num = 50; //total length
brk = 2; //amout of breaks

part = 0;
z = num/brk;

function next() {
if (part<brk) {
more = "";
for ( y=0; y<z; y++) {
x = y+part*z;
more += "Number now is :"+x+"<BR>";
}
document.body.innerHTML += more;
part += 1;
}
}

</script>

</head>

<body onload="next();">

<a href="javascript: next();">more</a><br>

</body>

</html>

If you need any changes just ask.

How about this?

function ImSoLoopy() {
var numOfLoops = 1000;
var RestPeriod = 25;

for (var i=0 i< numOfLoops; i++) {
if (i % RestPeriod == 0) {
alert ("I'm resting every" + RestPeriod + "loops\r" +
"Press OK when ready to continue");
}
document.write "Number is now: " i;
}
} // function ImSoLoopy()


So what the heck is this?: if (i % RestPeriod == 0)
It does a division and returns the remainer. If the remainder is zero then "i" is a multiple of "RestPeriod".

but how if i got 1,000 loops? it will take quit long time to process,

No. It won't.

RadarBob forgot the + sign and parenthesis:

document.write("Number is now: " + i);
