Why wont this work?

Im trying to make a script that asks for words then prints them out. It first asks how many words then asks what each word is.
<script language="javascript">
var words=prompt("How many words?","");

for(loop=0;loop<words;loop++)
{
var loop1=loop+1;
var wordx=prompt("What's word " + loop1);

var all="<h1>In Reverse</h1><br>word :" + loop1 +"<br>" + wordx;
}

var new=open("test4.html","new","width=400, height=400");
new.document.writeln(all);
</script>

Hi,

I fixed your script, theres a couple of things missing so try to explain:

First thing I noticed is that the script only displays the last value you input, thats because in the loop the all variable kept getting overwritten with a new value. To fix this I created an array to keep the values in.

I also noticed that a new window wasn't been created because you gave it the code a variable called new but this isn't allowed as new is a keyword.

I also moved in reverse to be printed to the new window just after its created so it doesnt get printed more than once.

<script language="javascript">
var worditems = new Array;
var words=prompt('How many words?',''); 

for (loop=0;loop<words;loop++){ 
  var loop1=loop+1; 
  var wordx=prompt('What\'s word ' + loop1); 
  worditems[loop]= loop1 + '<br>' + wordx + '<br>'; 
}

var newwin=window.open(''); 
newwin.document.writeln('<h1>In Reverse</h1><br>');

for (i=0;i<words;i++){
  newwin.document.writeln('word : ' + worditems[i]);
} 
</script>

Hope this helps, oh, and Opera rules
