  1. POWhat can i use instead of Array in javascript?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a script that auto populate form (3 fields) and it does work as i wanted (previously), but now, when i have like 2000 inputs, i can not handle it anymore. What i want to do is, make auto populate script where i can add more information later, for new inputs, now, i would need to start changing numbers for each input, i believe you'll understand batter through my code:</p> <p>Javascript:</p> <pre><code>var ids = new Array(); var use = new Array(); var ful = new Array(); ids[0] = ""; use[0] = ""; ful[0] = ""; ids[1] = "test1"; use[1] = "test2"; ful[1] = "test3"; ids[2] = "test1"; use[2] = "test"; ful[2] = "test3"; ids[3] = "test1"; use[3] = "test2"; ful[3] = "test3"; ids[4] = "test1"; use[4] = "test2"; ful[4] = "test3"; function Choice() { //x = document.getElementById("users"); y = document.getElementById("selectUsers"); //x.value = y.options[y.selectedIndex].text; document.getElementById("ids").value = ids[y.selectedIndex]; document.getElementById("use").value = use[y.selectedIndex]; document.getElementById("ful").value = ful[y.selectedIndex]; } </code></pre> <p>Form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select id="selectUsers" class=" outtaHere" name="users" onChange='Choice();'&gt;&lt;option value="0" selected="selected"&gt;Choose...&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;Test1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2"&gt;Test2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;Test3&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="4"&gt;Test4&lt;/option&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem is in, if i try to add new option value on 2nd position, with value 5, i would need to change the javascript order again, 1,2,3,4,5, i'm wondering, if i'm able to make the javascript like this and make it work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;option value="1"&gt;Test1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2"&gt;Test2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="4"&gt;Test4&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;Test3&lt;/option&gt; ids[2] = "test1"; use[2] = "test"; ful[2] = "test3"; ids[4] = "test1"; use[4] = "test2"; ful[4] = "test3"; ids[3] = "test1"; use[3] = "test2"; ful[3] = "test3"; </code></pre> <p>Please note the difference in 3 and 4 ids.</p> <p>What's the best option i can use?</p>
