little bit of javascript help

[Pab]

Working on a homework assignment and I need this code i wrote for returning the largest number of 10 numbers entered by the user to return the 2 largest number. The logic is escaping me atm. Any hints would help.

What I have so far: I have put a couple things that i expect to be in the script already.

    	<script type = "text/javascript">
    		
			counter = 0;
		        var largest = 0;
			var secondLargest = 0;
			
			while (counter < 10) 
			{
				var number = window.prompt("Please enter a number.");
				number = parseInt(number);
				counter++;
				
				if (number > largest) 
				{
					largest = number;
					
				}
			}
			
			document.write("The largest number is: " + largest );	
			document.write("The second largest number is: " + secondLargest );	
			
    	</script>

idea would be:

if number>largest
  2ndlargest=largest
  largest=number
else if number>2ndlargest
  2ndlargest=number
fi

Thanx, it's the silliest things sometimes. Between this and my Java class, I've been staring at code for the last two hours. Again thanx!
