how to do loop depending how many arguments are in function

Question

How to do autocreate variables(names,ssns and more), depending how many arguments we have in function, for each element i wanna have column(but i dont wanna to create it in manual mode) each column put in automatically created div, other column into second div. (i need to create table depending from xml tags, depending how many elements and tags it has)

function GetTableResult(checkername, position //(can be much more//) {
   var xmlResponse = xmlHttp.responseXML;
   root = xmlResponse.documentElement;
   names = root.getElementsByTagName(checkername); //need to autocreate
   ssns = root.getElementsByTagName(position);

var stuff = "";
for(var i=0; i<names.length; i++) {
    stuff += names.item(i).firstChild.data + "<br/>";
}

var position = "";
for(var j=0; j<ssns.length; j++) {
    position +=  ssns.item(j).firstChild.data + "<br/>";
}
  theD = document.getElementById("theD");
theD.innerHTML = stuff;

theB = document.getElementById("theB");
theB.innerHTML = position;
}

Do you mean arguments instead of elements? – Kevin Bowersox Sep 07 '13 at 10:08 — Kevin Bowersox, Sep 07 '13 at 10:08

and autocreate new vars from arguments, not just count it – Druidman Sep 07 '13 at 10:15 — Druidman, Sep 07 '13 at 10:15

use the arguments variable:

function func() {
  for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
    console.log(arguments[i]);
  }
}
