I have 8 boxes that the user can select, if they select box 1 - it should alert that box 1 has been selected. The same applies to all 8 boxes. Right now, I'm running a for loop at an interval of 1/10th of a second, which should check which box is being clicked, and then output the alert based on the switch statement.
When you run the code, it alerts that box 8 has always being selected, and I can't figure out, how to select the box
EDIT: The clearInterval(interval); works in it's current position, but on every click outputs an error
"Uncaught ReferenceError: interval is not defined"
^ Any ideas?
Page Load:
$(function() { //On page load
var interval = setInterval(buttonClick, 100);
});
Button click function
function buttonClick() {
//INITIALIZING ARRAY
var displayBox = [$("#boxOne-line-one"), $("#boxTwo-line-one"), $("#boxThree-line-one"), $("#boxFour-line-one"), $("#boxFive-line-one"), $("#boxSix-line-one"), $("#boxSeven-line-one"), $("#boxEight-line-one")];
var slidePos = 0;
for (let i = 0; i <= 7; i++) {
(ii => {
displayBox[ii].click(function() {
slidePos = ii;
console.log(slidePos);
wbox(slidePos);
clearInterval(interval);
});
})(i);
}
}
Switch statement function, "which box"
function wbox(slidePos) {
switch(slidePos) {
case 0:
alert("BOX 1 SELECTED");
break;
case 1:
alert("BOX 2 SELECTED");
break;
case 2:
alert("BOX 3 SELECTED");
break;
case 3:
alert("BOX 4 SELECTED");
break;
case 4:
alert("BOX 5 SELECTED");
break;
case 5:
alert("BOX 6 SELECTED");
break;
case 6:
alert("BOX 7 SELECTED");
break;
case 7:
alert("BOX 8 SELECTED");
break;
}
}
Actual: "BOX 8 SELECTED"
Expected: The correct box
You need to change your loop to avoid i
being global:
for (let i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
(ii => {
displayBox[ii].click(function() {
slidePos = ii;
console.log(slidePos);
wbox(slidePos);
clearInterval(interval);
});
})(i);
}
