'for' limit must be a number

[Snoozy]

Hey I've come across a problem with 'for' limit must be a number and have been unable to find a fix, anyhow heres the code and so on where it comes from

infoRoot = getElementByID("infoRoot") 
maxbi = getElementData(infoRoot,"MaxBusiness") 
for idx=1,maxbi do -- 'for' limit must be a number appears here 
triggerServerEvent ( "GetBizName", getLocalPlayer(),idx) 
end 

It have worked before which is why it just seems strange

local infoRoot = createElement("infoRoot", "infoRoot") 
    setElementData(infoRoot, "MaxBusiness",maxbi) 

This is where the data is set

Oh well I just found the problem when I was trying to explain when it happen Looking at the code I was about to put into this post I noticed the problem, it was that I created the infoRoot element twice, and it was after the MaxBusiness was defined so it got erased again lol
