Hello! I have an ajax call generated by cakephp that should update multiple divs like so: new Ajax.Updater( document.createElement(''div''), url_to_ajax_call, {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, requestHeaders:[''X-Update'', ''div1 div2'']}); Now this works fine but problems occure when I add some javascript in the response. A simple thing like this next line of code has some unexpected behaviors: window.myObjectDeclared.anArrayMember[3255] = someData; alert(window.myObjectDeclared.anArrayMember.length); //returns 3255 While there really is just one element in this array. The exact same code does work before the ajax (length is 1). Does somebody know what the problem could be? I hope I made myself clear, it''s a bit complex :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

If you assign something to the 3255th element of an array, your array now has 3255 elements. That''s how arrays work. :-) -Fred On Jul 2, 2008, at 8:26 AM, Marcelius wrote:> window.myObjectDeclared.anArrayMember[3255] = someData; > alert(window.myObjectDeclared.anArrayMember.length); //returns 3255-- Science answers questions; philosophy questions answers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

lol, I''ve never noticed that before... I had performance issues when assigning 2 elements in an array, but that makes sense now with the high numbers... I solved this using a Hash instead of an Array and now works great! Thanks for the response!
