So I've a line of 8 asterix ("* ") and a space between them (" "). Then it goes to the next row which is indented to make the checkboard effect. I want the result to be like this: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * by using while structure and only three statements which are: document.write( "* "); document.write( " " ); document.writeln(); In fact I get inly one row so what can I add to get the other rows??? Here is my code: [code] <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <!-- Fig. 7.14: increment.html --> <!-- Preincrementing and Postincrementing. --> <html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Preincrementing and Postincrementing</title> <script type = "text/javascript"> <!-- var row = 0; cols = 0; while(row <= 7 ) { document.write( "* "); document.write( " " ); document.writeln(); row++; } // --> </script> </head><body></body> </html> [code] Thank you alot.

Here is something that may helps: CODE <script type = "text/javascript"> <!-- var row = 0; var cols = 0; while(row <= 7 ){ while(cols <= 7){ document.write( "* "); cols++; } document.write("<br>"); cols = 0; row++; } // --> </script> Hope that helps.
