I'm learning JavaScript, and I'm making a simple project where I have a form (with name
, lastname
, and age
) and a button.
I want the user to fill the form, and press the button. After that I want to use the .onclick
event to store all the info in an array.
Then I want to create another button that when I pressed it shows a list of all the names, lastnames and ages from this array.
The problem is, the array I create inside the .onclick event function can't be used outside of said function. Am I doing something wrong or is it impossible to do that? Here's part of my code:
var input = document.getElementById("input"); //id of the button i want to press to fill my array
var ver = document.getElementById("ver"); //id of the button i want to press to show my array
var resultado = document.getElementById("resultado");
var i = 0;
var lista = new Array(100); //Array va con mayuscula!!!
input.onclick = function() {
var listaFinal = CrearArreglo(lista, i);
i++; //lo sumo aca porque sino en la funcion se pierde el valor
}
function CrearArreglo(miLista, j) {
var nombre = document.getElementById("nombre").value;
var apellido = document.getElementById("apellido").value;
var edad = document.getElementById("edad").value;
miLista[j] = {
name: nombre,
lastname: apellido,
age: edad
};
return miLista;
}
// This is the part that I have trouble with, since I get an error that says "Uncaught ReferenceError: listaFinal is not defined"
resultado.innerHTML = listaFinal[0].name;

Just define listaFinal
as Global variable and modify its value in function:
var listaFinal=[];
input.onclick = function() {
listaFinal=CrearArreglo(lista,i);
}
//Use it when modified
var input=document.getElementById("input"); //id of the button i want to press to fill my array
var ver=document.getElementById("ver"); //id of the button i want to press to show my array
var resultado=document.getElementById("resultado");
var i=0;
var lista= new Array(100);//Array va con mayuscula!!!
var listaFinal =[];
input.onclick = function() {
listaFinal=CrearArreglo(lista,i);
i++; //lo sumo aca porque sino en la funcion se pierde el valor
}
function CrearArreglo(miLista,j){
var nombre=document.getElementById("nombre").value;
var apellido=document.getElementById("apellido").value;
var edad=document.getElementById("edad").value;
miLista[j]={name:nombre, lastname:apellido, age:edad};
return miLista;
}
function newFunction(){
resultado.innerHTML=listaFinal[0].name;
}
