Example
In this example we will create an array and add an element to it:
<script type="text/javascript">
var arr = new Array(5);
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";
document.write(arr + "<br />");
arr.splice(2,0,"Lene");
document.write(arr + "<br />");
</script>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Jani,Hege,Stale,Kai Jim,Borge
Jani,Hege,Lene,Stale,Kai Jim,Borge
|
Example
In this example we will remove the element at index 2 ("Stale"), and add a
new element ("Tove") there instead:
<script type="text/javascript">
var arr = new Array(5);
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";
document.write(arr + "<br />");
arr.splice(2,1,"Tove");
document.write(arr);
</script>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Jani,Hege,Stale,Kai Jim,Borge
Jani,Hege,Tove,Kai Jim,Borge
|
Example
In this example we will remove three elements starting at index 2 ("Stale"), and add a
new element ("Tove") there instead:
<script type="text/javascript">
var arr = new Array(5);
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";
document.write(arr + "<br />");
arr.splice(2,3,"Tove");
document.write(arr);
</script>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Jani,Hege,Stale,Kai Jim,Borge
Jani,Hege,Tove
