JavaScript for…in vs for

Question

Do you think there is a big difference in for...in and for loops? What kind of \"for\" do you prefer to use and why?

Let\'s say we have an array of associative array

Answer 1

here is something i did.

function foreach(o, f) {
 for(var i = 0; i < o.length; i++) { // simple for loop
  f(o[i], i); // execute a function and make the obj, objIndex available
 }
}

this is how you would use it
this will work on arrays and objects( such as a list of HTML elements )

foreach(o, function(obj, i) { // for each obj in o
  alert(obj); // obj
  alert(i); // obj index
  /*
    say if you were dealing with an html element may be you have a collection of divs
  */
  if(typeof obj == 'object') { 
   obj.style.marginLeft = '20px';
  }
});

I just made this so I'm open to suggestions :)
