    I already have that there. I need to display the appropriate number of asteriks next to each number.

    I got the stars to output before the number, but I need to output the stars after the number.


           <script type="text/javascript">
   function newArray() {
          var numlist = [ 4,8,2,6,10 ];
          msg = "";
      

		 for( var i = 0; i < numlist.length; i++ ) {
            msg += new Array(numlist[i]+1).join('*')  + numlist [i] + "<br>";
          }
          document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = msg;
		
        }
       
 </script>
 <body onLoad="newArray()">
 
<div id="results"></div>
 
</body>
 
</html>
