Removing element from an array

Question

function removeItem(){
    for(i=0;i<rowData.length;i++){
        if(rowData[i].title = 'First Name'){
            rowData.splice(i,1);
            break;
        }
}

This does not delete the object whose has a title property 'First Name' instead deletes the last added object to the array.

If you really have = in your code, it should actually delete the first element.... — Felix Kling

You have to use == operator instead of = in the if condition.= is for assignment and not for comparing.

Edit 1: For more info follow this thread.

On line three you have a typo. Instead of =, it should say ==
