javascript for function - How do i include another condition in the for loop

<script type="text/javascript">
    var s = 'First JavaScript string.';
    var c = 'This is second text.'
    var colors = new Array("#FF0000","#000000");
    for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++)
    document.write("<span style=\"color:" + colors[(i % colors.length)] + ";\">" + s[i] + "</span>");

Condition should be false, when i is greater/equal to summarized length of s and c.

If i is smaller than length of s, you should write s[i] (with marking), else - write c[i-s.length]. I'd say that ternary operator would fit great here.

You don't need to put single statements in the for loop, you can have how ever many as you want, as long as the centre expression evaluates to a truthy value:

Some examples:

Multiple declarations and a bigger condition:

for(var i = 0, z = 0; i < 100 && z < 100; z++, i++){
    console.log(i, z)
}

No incrementation and no declaration:

var i = 0; 
for(;i < 100;){
   i++;
   console.log(i)
}

For your situation I think you want this:

for (var i = 0; i < s.length && i < c.length; i++){
    //...do something here 
}

This will stop when I is bigger then the length of s or the length of c

for (var i = 0, var j = 0; i < s.length; i++, j--) {
   ;
}

If I understand correctly you need to use a nested loop, although you need to be more specific.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var s = 'First JavaScript string.';
    var c = 'This is second text.'
    var colors = new Array("#FF0000","#000000");
    for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
        for (var m = 0; m < c.length; m++) {
            ... print something in here
        }
    }
</script>
