break out a for loop

[some_guy 11]

I have a for loop that loops 999 times as I need to amend the list that is being looped within the for.

The listtotal parameter appears to be set at the beginning of the loop and isn't dynamically checked each loop (from my test) hence why I need to set a large loop to assure the loop loops enough terms, however, this method requires the ability to manually break the loop.

 

I am sure I was able to break out a for by using

 

if (a=

then

return value

 

where value was just a nominal string.

 

Now this isn't working, the return is definitely hit as have added a javascript alert() to the then statement, but the return is ignored and the loop goes round again.

 

Any ideas?

Instead of a loop use the while statement.

 

Then when you want to break out change the value of a variable so it will no longer "while".
