Does this help?

Seems like you could (??) use the "indexOf" or the DOJO framework contains some utility functions. If not, you can always create a small util function of your own.

Hi,

 

Two questions: what does your array consist of and where are you processing it?

Lets assume you want to process it server-side using SSJS.

• If it's an array of strings you can use the @IsMember( value, array) function.
• If it's an array of objects you'll probably have to write a function yourself.

 Is this for SSJS or client javascript?

 

Assuming the former, you might want to use something other than an array, like a java.util.Vector or java.util.ArrayList. You might as well get comfortable with java.util.Vector as that is what getItemValue and replaceItemValue methods use.  If you have to have an array at some point, you can convert either of them to an array with toArray().

Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestions.

 

Worked out the solution, I needed to give the array a value, so I just

on my after page loads I have this

javascript:var athleteList = new Array();
sessionScope.put("athleteList", athleteList);

So I changed my code to this and it worked. I obviously needed to initialise it differently

var newList = sessionScope.get("athleteList");
newList.length=0;

 

no idea why

 

var athleteList = new Array(); didn't work by itself, hopefully may help out some others.
