When this code runs the browser running circle (in the tab display) never times out it just keeps running, why?
<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function products_list() {
var products = new Array();
products[0] = "hair spray";
products[1] = "shoes";
products[2] = "flowers";
products[3] = "socks";
for (var i = 0; i < products.length; i++)
{
document.write(products[i] + "<br>");
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3 onclick="products_list()"> -> Show List</h3>
</body>

You NEED to put a break in the code to stop or will keep going for ever and can cause problems.
You can find a the info you need here, http://php.net/manua...tures.break.php
You good also Google, stoping a for loop from running in php, I came up with a few ways of doing this besides the break.

@grabenair:
@Ed4Words:
When I run that code (and assuming I click on the header, obviously), the system prints out the four array items, then stops. As far as I can tell, it's working correctly. What is happening that makes you think the code is still running?
Not quite true -- a for loop has an automatic break built in. In the code above, it should break after i is no longer less than products.length. (We're also dealing with Javascript here, not PHP.)You NEED to put a break in the code to stop or will keep going for ever and can cause problems.

In the tab on my browser there is a running circle with the tab to the web page reading "connecting" and it doesn't seem to stop.
If I run the script in the body; then it loads with the page everything is normal, but of course the heading is over written.
But if I call the function which I named "products_list()" from the head with an "onclick" in the heading title, then I get a "connecting" message in the tab of the webpage that never seems to stop, although the web page does display the array values correctly.

Yeh, another strange thing - it does seem to work fine in my explorer 9 browser on my desktop, but the on running "connecting" message in the tab of the page is active in my Fire Fox browser on my laptop.
Strange??!
I always though of Monzilla as being javascript sensitive in there applications - that is they would be more prone to being bug free as far as running javascript.
Or maybe I have been hacked
