Getting mayan long count from date

[Grandmaster Flash]

Hey, so basically I got this javascript that turns the current date into a mayan long count. I tied it to an xul file that pops up the date in firefox(it's a frefox extension). Everything works fine but the javascript code won't work. Here it is:

function LongCount()
{
	var curDate = new Date();
	var endCycle = new Date(2012,11,21);
	var milsDay = 1000*60*60*24;
	var diff = Math.ceil((endCycle.getTime() - curDate.getTime())/milsDay);
	
	var LongCount = new Array();
	LongCount[0] = 13;
	LongCount[1] = 0;
	LongCount[2] = 0;
	LongCount[3] = 0;
	LongCount[4] = 0;
	
	var i = 0;
	
	for (i = 1; i = diff; )
	{
		if (LongCount[4] - 1 < 0)
		{
			if (LongCount[3] - 1 < 0)
			{
				if (LongCount[2] - 1 < 0)
				{
					if (LongCount[1] - 1 < 0)
					{
						if (LongCount[0] - 1 < 0)
						{
							LongCount[0] = 20;	
							LongCount[1] = 0;	
							LongCount[2] = 0;	
							LongCount[3] = 0;	
							LongCount[4] = 0;	
						}	
						else
						{
							LongCount[1] = 20;
							LongCount[0] -= 1;	
						}
					}
					else
					{
						LongCount[2] = 20;
						LongCount[1] -= 1;	
					}
				}
				else
				{
					LongCount[3] = 20;
					LongCount[2] -= 1;	
				}	
			}
			else
			{
				LongCount[4] = 20;
				LongCount[3] -= 1;	
			}	
		}
		else
		{
			LongCount[4] -= 1;	
		}	
	}
	
	return LongCount[0] + "." + LongCount[1] + "." + LongCount[2] + "." LongCount[3] + "." + LongCount[4];
}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance =]

That is a lot of if/else statements. You should consider using switch/case. FF has a JavaScript debugger addon. Search for that and add it. It will let you go through the JavaScript step by step and then you will be able to find the error. Sometimes I use IE to determine what the error is. While FF will say nothing about the error IE will at least give some general (usually useless) error description.

I used that addon and I got it working I just a while loop instead. =] thanks
