Hello,

Please forgive me if this is not the right forum for my question. It is my first day and I am still not sure were to go.

I am trying to find out why I can't get user information to appear in the script.

Any help would be appreciated.

<html>
<head>
<title>Questionaire</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var personal = new Array(7);
personal[0] = null;
personal[1] = null;
personal[2] = null;
personal[3] = null;
personal[4] = null;
personal[5] = null;
personal[6] = null;
var name = prompt ("Please enter your first and last name", "Enter your name here");
var address = prompt ("Please enter your address", "Enter address here");
var phone = prompt ("Please enter your phone number including area code", "Enter number here");
var city = prompt ("Please enter city", "Enter city here");
var state = prompt ("Please enter state", "Enter state here");
var zip = prompt ("Please enter your zip code", "Enter zip code here");
var occupation = prompt ("Please enter your occupation", "Enter occupation here");
for (var count = 0; count <personal.length; ++count) {
document.writeln(personal[count]);
}
//-->
</script>
</pre>
</body>
</html>


Thank you kindly

JeffG,

In the future please read our posting guidelines in reference to subject lines for threads.

The subject of your thread is very vague.

You are not populating the array with the values you are collecting from the prompts. I have modified your script, try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Questionaire</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
var personal = new Array(7);

personal[0] = prompt("Please enter your first and last name", "Enter your name here");
personal[1] = prompt("Please enter your address", "Enter address here");
personal[2] = prompt("Please enter your phone number including area code", "Enter number here");
personal[3] = prompt("Please enter city", "Enter city here");
personal[4] = prompt("Please enter state", "Enter state here");
personal[5] = prompt("Please enter your zip code", "Enter zip code here");
personal[6] = prompt("Please enter your occupation", "Enter occupation here");
for (count = 0; count <personal.length; count++) {
document.writeln(personal[count]);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Hello requestcode,

I can't thank you enough.

It looks like I was all over the place on this. I just never worked with input arrays before.

Once again, thank you and I hope you have a nice day!
