JS arrays and variables

[sanfly]

Hi

How would i make something like this work

[code]<script>

    function showMore(num){
        theText[0] = "this is 0";
        theText[1] = "this is 1";
        theText[2] = "this is 2";
        theText[3] = "this is 3";
        theText[4] = "this is 4";
        theText[5] = "this is 5";
        
        alert(theText[num]);
    }
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="showMore('0'); return false;">0</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="showMore('1'); return false;">1</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="showMore('2'); return false;">2</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="showMore('3'); return false;">3</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="showMore('4'); return false;">4</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="showMore('5'); return false;">5</a><br>[/code]

I keep getting "theText not defined" error message.

Cheers

Oops, this always happens. As soon as i ask the question, i figure out the answer

i forgot to define the array

[code]theText = new Array();[/code]
