3.9.1.break statement syntax

The keyword break exits out of loop structures and switch statement.

When a label is used, JavaScript completely breaks out of the area designated by label.

To label a statement, place the label name followed by a colon (:).

Labels are useful when working with nested loops.

<html>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>

    <!--

    forLoop1:

    for (var counter1 = 1; counter1 <= 5; counter1++)

    {

      for (var counter2 = 1; counter2 <= 5; counter2++)

      {

        document.write("Counter1=",counter1);

        document.write(" Counter2=",counter2,"<BR>");

        if (counter2 == 3)

          break;

        if (counter1 == 3)

          break forLoop1;

      }

    }

    document.write("All done!");

    //-->
