How to get array item in Selenium IDE and use it?

[c***@public.gmane.org]

this is my code

<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>new Array ('cat','dog')</td>
<td>names</td></tr><tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>javascript{storedVars['names'].length}</td>
<td>length</td></tr><tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>Math.floor((Math.random()*storedVars['length'])+0)</td>
<td>rn</td></tr>

and here is where it doesnt work:

<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>name=ProductName[2]</td>
<td>javascript{names['1']}</td></tr>

this doesnt work as well (i want to use a random item here):

<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>name=ProductName[1]</td>
<td>javascript{names[storedVars['rn']]}</td></tr>

I'm not sure if javascript arrays would work, but the sequence does not
work as is. There is a quirk in IDE where the variables you create are not
directly avaliable in javascript.

If you try changing the two first storeEval like this:

<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>names = new Array ('cat','dog')</td>
<td>names</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>storeEval</td>
<td>length = names.length</td>
<td>length</td>
</tr>

This way, the *name* variable will be accessible both in selenese and
javascript, so the second storeEval has a better chance of doing what you
need.

Of course, you could use a selenese variable in your javascript by using
the storedVar syntax, but I am not sure you could store objects in those.
