how to compare the ids in an array to each other when the user is still entering the values of each ID[i]?
i have this code that creates a table and asks the user to enter the values of IDs and makes sure that the id is a number and breaks if the user inputs it 3 times not a number and prevents the user to input an id number that already exists
i only need some help on how to prevent the user all i got out with is just compering the ID[i] with one previous value and not all the previous values
<script>
var i;
var j;
var w;
var con=0;
var ID=new Array(5);
var grade;
var sum=0;
var names=new Array(5);
names[0]="Duaa";
names[1]="Chaza";
names[2]="Ola";
names[3]="Ghina";
names[4]="Hassan";
document.writeln("<table border='1'>");
for(i=0;i<names.length;i++)
{
con=0;
ID[i]=prompt("Enter The Id number of "+names[i],"ID number");
while(isNaN(ID[i])&&con<2)
{
con++;
ID[i]=prompt("Enter The Id number of "+names[i],"ID number");
}
/* This loop */
for(w=0;w<ID.length;w++)
{
if(ID[i]==ID[i-1])
{
window.alert("You Have Already Entered That Id Number!");
break;
}
}
if(con==2)
{
window.alert("You are a loser!");
break;
}
else
{
/*other details and stuff i'm already done with */
}
}
