I have this code that should be appending an li to a ul. I wrote an array to tell it what the pages are and what the text in the link should be. It's not generating the link though.

JAVASCRIPT Code: [ Select ]
var link1=newArray();
      link1[0] = "index.html";
      link1[1] = "Home";
 
$('#navigation ul li:nth-child(1)').append('<a href="' + link1[0] + '">' + link1[1] + '</a>');
 
  1. var link1=newArray();
  2.       link1[0] = "index.html";
  3.       link1[1] = "Home";
  4.  
  5. $('#navigation ul li:nth-child(1)').append('<a href="' + link1[0] + '">' + link1[1] + '</a>');
  6.  


Obviously there are more arrays, one for each link in the navigation menu, but I figure I better get the first one working before I move on. Any ideas?

If that's verbatim, you have a syntax error on the first line in the form of a missing space between "new" and "Array".

Other than that, in my experience with jQuery when append/prepend and family don't work right it's because my selector isn't targeting what I thought it was.
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
