[Javascript] variable undefined problem

[lkmckinn at ingr.com (Mckinney, Lori K)]

Each itemX is a variable that is a string defined in an external js file,
right?

Is itemN supposed to be an object?  No context is supplied to know where
to be looking for it.

"Variable undefined" because there was no earlier "var item0 ="
statement.  If you are looking for a form object named item0, then you
need syntax like: var ItemValue = eval("document.form["myForm"].item" +
I + ".value")

How about using something like this?  I changed itemCheck to be a
boolean
flag.  If you didn't have an item0, that would have raised an error.  
 
var i = 0;
var itemCheck = true; 
while(window.itemCheck) 
{ 
  x = "item" + i;
 try {
  itemCheck =eval(x);
   document.write("<A HREF=" + itemCheck + ">" + itemCheck + "<BR></A>"
);
   i++; 
 }
 catch (e) {
  itemCheck = false;
 }
}
