ok my problem is that i want this code to look to see if “race\* includes the value of query[t]” and to apply the lower code if it is but if it’s not then to increment t by 1 and to check again. until it finds a match.

if (race\*.indexOf(querys[t]) != -1) {  
whichRace = sportEvent.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].childNodes;  
raceName = sportEvent.childNodes\*.attributes.name;  
raceLink = sportEvent.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].attributes.couponLink;  
raceBox.race.text = raceName;  
}  
else{t++};

Any help would be very appreciated

Thanks
