Very simple thing I am trying to do in JS (assign the values of one array to another), but somehow the array bar's value doesn't seem affected at all.

The first thing I tried, of course, was simply bar = ar; -- didn't work, so I tried manually looping through... still doesn't work.

I don't grok the quirks of Javascript! Please help!!

var ar=[apple,banana,canaple];

var bar;

for(i=0;i<ar.length;i++){

    bar[i]=ar[i];

}

alert(ar[1]);

And, here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/vGycZ/

(The above is a simplification. The actual array is multidimensional.)
