Easy way to turn JavaScript array into comma-separated list?

The Array.prototype.join() method:

var arr = ["Zero", "One", "Two"];

document.write(arr.join(", "));

Actually, the toString() implementation does a join with commas by default:

var arr = [ 42, 55 ];
var str1 = arr.toString(); // Gives you "42,55"
var str2 = String(arr); // Ditto

I don't know if this is mandated by the JS spec but this is what most pretty much all browsers seem to be doing.


Or (more efficiently):

var arr = new Array(3);
arr[0] = "Zero";
arr[1] = "One";
arr[2] = "Two";

document.write(arr); // same as document.write(arr.toString()) in this context

The toString method of an array when called returns exactly what you need - comma-separated list.
