With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Problem with onclick in a a function

Asked by jrt01uk in JavaScript

I have a piece of javascript code which runs through an array, and when certain values match, this piece of code is supposed at create a list of links, each with an onclick statement in the link... eg:

<a href="#" onclick="explain(1);">text 1</a>
<a href="#" onclick="explain(4);">text 4</a>
<a href="#" onclick="explain(5);">text 5</a>
<a href="#" onclick="explain(7);">text 7</a>
etc...

I have no problems in getting the list of links, but I can't master the onclick function :( I've been looking at this for ages now, and its really bugging me.

My function is:

function selectChange2() {

// get value of item in second select box
var parent_object = document.helpForm.secondChoice.options;
var selection = parent_object[parent_object.selectedIndex].value;

var x;
var myTag;

for ( x = 0 ; x < arrItems2.length ; x++ ) {
if ( arrItemsGrp2[x] == selection ) {
myTag = document.createElement("a");
      myTag.href = "#";
     myTag.onclick = function() {
explain(x);
       }
     myTag.innerHTML = arrItems2[x] + x + '<br>';
      document.getElementById("htmlx").appendChild(myTag);
}
}
}

function explain(x){
document.getElementById("html").innerHTML=null;
document.getElementById("html").innerHTML=arrItems3[x];
}

Basically, I'm just trying to get the code to insert the 'x' number into the onclick="explain(x)" statement....but I'm doing something wrong... :(

Thanks in advance for your help!
