drag and drop jslint error

[tryingtolearn]

Im following some examples for drag and drop file uploads and have come across the same for loop in different tutorials

And get the following error (jslint)

The loop

for (i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++) {

ParseFile(f);

UploadFile(f);

}

The error

 

Expected a conditional expression and instead saw an assignment

 

 

I tried omitting it and adding a break in the loop but it gave the same error on the break line.

 

Trying to figure out an explanation for the error 

 - or a way to re write the second statement to pass through jslint

This seemed to do the trick

Not exactly sure what throws the error above or why its considered an error since both versions work..

// file selection
	function FileSelectHandler(e) {
        var i,
            files,
            f;

		// cancel event and hover styling
		fileDragHover(e);

		// fetch FileList object
		files = e.target.files || e.dataTransfer.files;

		// process all File objects
        for (i = 0; i <= files.length - 1; i = i + 1) {
            f = files[i];
            parseFile(f);
            uploadFile(f);
        }
    }
