How can I use Data Item Values within a HTML-item with JavaScript

Are you trying to pass the values to javascript? If so, you can wrap the list items with tags to get the contents. As a quick example, let's say you have a column like so:
[PRODUCT]
Apples
Bananas
Oranges
You can wrap the Data Item Values with Javascript to get their content into a Javascript array. It would look like this:
[PRODUCT]
<HTML Item>Apples<HTML Item>
<HTML Item>Bananas<HTML Item>
<HTML Item>Oranges<HTML Item>
The left side HTML Item would contain:
<script> myArray += "
And the right side HTML Item would contain:
,";</script>
This would create a comma delimited string which is read into Javascript. To turn it into an actually Javascript array you would need to have another HTML Item under the list which contained:
<script>myArray = myArray.split(",");</script>
Hope that helps

This helps verry much, thank you.
At the end of last week I found this kind of solution on a other forum. And that worked very wel.
In that case I created an extra column in the list containting a html-item. The text in the html-item was an other Data Item Value which contained a concatenated string which looked like:
<script language="javascript">getPosition("' +[Address line 1]+ '","' + [City]');</script>
In this case getPosition is a function (which is defined in another html-item) in which the parameters are the other Data Item Values in the list.
But I think your solution is better because in the getPostion function I am creating the array.
