Example 6.16:
A 'while' Loop Without a Counter
The button calls function1(), which uses a 'while' loop. This displays the Prompt dialog box until the user types the word Aardvark (make sure you type the A uppercase):
This is the script we used:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function function1() {
var sWord =""
while (sWord != "Aardvark") {
sWord = prompt("Input the word \'Aardvark\' in order to stop the loop","")
}
alert("The loop has finished")
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BR>
<form>
<input type="button" value=" Button A " onclick="function1()">
</form>
]]>
