[Javascript] simple array

[Thomas Wheeler]

Trying to learn, if I have a series of variables like content1, content2, etc..  and I want to cycle through them
can I write a for loop?  Here's my current code:

                  if (obj != content1) hide(content1);
	  if (obj != content2) hide(content2);
	  if (obj != content3) hide(content3);
	  if (obj != content4) hide(content4);
	  if (obj != content5) hide(content5);
	  if (obj != content6) hide(content6);
	  
Here's what I've been trying to do:

function show(obj) {  
          //show the obj here
          for(i = 1; i < 7; i++)
                  if (obj != content + [i]) hide(content + [i]);
}

this doesn't work, and other variations of it I've tried are also unsuccessful.  I know I could list all the variables, but isn't there a more concise way?
