Do you have to assign new names in JS arrays?
Hey y'all. . . I was just wondering if you had to assign new names for each array you write -- that is, if you have multiple arrays in one script.
For example:
var MyArray = new Array(2)
MyArrayObjects[0] = "whatever.";
MyArrayObjects[1] = "whatever again.";
Now if you wanted another array -- for the array, and for the objects in that array, do you have to assign new names for them? Like this:
var MyArray2 = new Array(2)
MyArrayObjects2[0] = "blah";
MyArrayObjects2[1] = "blah again";
Also, do you have to make the name of the objects in the array the same as the name of the array itself?
Thanks, I just wanted to know -- I'm bulding a JS "proglet" (little program).

As far as I know, you would need to give each array a new name. Otherwise, it would either overwrite the values or give an error.
The objects do have to have the same name as the array as well.

Thanks, John. . . Also, can you put HTML tags in between the quotation marks in the arrays? You know what I mean:
Array = new Array (2)
Array[0] = "<b>This text is in bold.</b>"
Array[1] = "<i>This text is in italics.</i>"
