How to build in array subfunction in this setAttribute function?

JavaScript

Hi, I have written a function that automatically inserts an attribute (i.e. a per case adapted onclick function) in input elements. It also makes a few exceptions. It looks like this, somewhat simplified for clarity purposes:


function insertAttribute() {
    var allInputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    var allInputsCount = allInputs.length;
    var thatInput = null;
    for (i = 0; i < allInputsCount; i++) {
        thatInput = allInputs[i];
        var highlightFunction = "highlightItem('"+thatInput.name+"-row','"+thatInput.name+"-button')";
        if ((thatInput.name != "A") && (thatInput.name != "B") && (thatInput.name != "C"))
            thatInput.setAttribute("onclick",highlightFunction);
    }
}

The problem is, there are some 20 input elements where the attribute should not be inserted in. I could expand the if line, but I would rather do it with an array. But how do I do that? I googled how to use array in javascript function which gave me two top results (this and [URL=“http://www.caveofprogramming.com/articles/javascript-2/javascript-array-how-to-use-arrays-in-javascript/”]this) that suggested I should do it like this:


function insertAttribute() {
    var allInputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    var allInputsCount = allInputs.length;
    var thatInput = null;
    for (i = 0; i < allInputsCount; i++) {
        thatInput = allInputs[i];
        var highlightFunction = "highlightItem('"+thatInput.name+"-row','"+thatInput.name+"-button')";
        var exceptedArray = ["A","B","C"];
        if (thatInput.name != exceptedArray)
            thatInput.setAttribute("onclick",highlightFunction);
    }
}

But that doesn’t work – the attribute is still inserted. How should it be done?

I got an answer elsewhere that seems to work fine: the if line should read:[FONT=book antiqua]

if (exceptedArray.indexOf(thatInput.name) == -1)

[/FONT].
