Javascript array iteration using for..in with MooTools included

Question

I am iterating over an array in MooTools but seeing additional items when iterating through the array using the shorthand for..in loop. It works fine when I use

Answer 1

As Chetan pointed out, for .. in is meant for object property iteration, not arrays. however, you can iterate over the current members (and not the inherited members set by MooTools), by using hasOwnProprty, like so:

for (i in array)
    if (array.hasOwnProperty(i))
    {
        //.. do stuff ...
    }

Orr, better still, since you're using MooTools, just use the Array.each method:

array.each (function (item, index)
{
    // ... do stuff ...
});
