Ext.MessageBox.alert problem

[robin30]

hi all,

i'm using startmenu desktop 2.0. in here i have a grid that shows bill that still needs to be paid or are already paid.

i also made it that when bills are due for example tomorrow and a the ext.MessageBox.alert will show up and mention it.

now my problem is this.

when there are for example 2 bills due tomorrow, in the ext.MessageBox.alert it will say Electricity $200, trash $134.

how can i get rid of the ','
see attachment.

this is my code to get what bills are due:

billdue = new Ext.data.Store({
                   proxy: new Ext.data.HttpProxy({
                   url: 'php/database.php'
                   }),
                   
                   baseParams:{task: "BILLDUE"},
                   
                   reader: new Ext.data.JsonReader({
 root: 'results',

            totalProperty: 'total',

            id: 'id'                   
                   },['id','name','amount','due'])
                   });
billdue.load();
billdue.on('load',function() {
var name = [];
for(i = 0; i< billdue.getCount(); i++){

          name.push(billdue.getAt(i).data.name + ' - $' + billdue.getAt(i).data.amount + '    Due:' + billdue.getAt(i).data.due +'<br>');
          
           }
        Ext.MessageBox.alert('Bills Due !!','the following bills are due: <br><br><b>' + name + '</b>');            
        }); 

thanks in advance,

How about shift() or split()?

thanks for your answer,

but if i do this,

Ext.MessageBox.alert('Bills Due !!','the following bills are due: <br><br><b>' + name.shift() + '</b>'); 

only the first one will show up. for example only electricity and not trash.

Thanks again.

really appreciate your help.

You built an array, name. Then you concatenate it, so it converts the array to a string (including the comma delimiters).

Look at the description I sent you, it says

The shift() method is used to remove and return the first element of an array.

I'm not saying either is a solution, I was more pointing you towards to the basis of your problem.

I think I may have approached it differently:

var bills = '';

for(i = 0; i< billdue.getCount(); i++){
   bills += billdue.getAt(i).data.name + ' - $' + billdue.getAt(i).data.amount + '    Due:' + billdue.getAt(i).data.due +'<br/>';
          
           }
        Ext.MessageBox.alert('Bills Due !!','the following bills are due: <br><br><b>' + bills + '</b>');

Same concept, slightly optimized:

var msg = 'The following bills are due: <br>';
for(i = 0, len = billdue.getCount(); i < len; i++){
    var bill = billdue.getAt(i).data;
    msg += ('<br><b>' + bill.name + ' - $' + bill.amount + '    Due:' + bill.due +'</b>');
}
Ext.MessageBox.alert('Bills Due !!', msg);

It works,

Appreciate your help guys.
