Rails spinoffs - Oct 2007 - returning from function within Array.each

function do_a_loop()
{
  var fields = new Array(1,2,3,4);
  fields.each(function(item))
  {
    if(item == 2){
      return;
    }
  }
}

Im trying to do the following with prototype,
but I need to exit the do_a_loop() function not just the function
within each().

any ideas?
I was originally using a (for in) loop until we moved to using
prototype, now that we cannot use for in we have lost some
functionality.

try this

var fields = [1,2,3,4];

fields.each( function( item ){
  if( item == 2 ){
    return;//this will skip "the rest of the code" for option 2 only
  }
  //the rest of the code
}

or this

fields.each( function( item ){
  if( item == 2 ){
    throw $break;//this will end the each;
  }
  //the rest of the code
}
