handlebars javascript error on return in function, i is not defined

Show all headers | View raw

I want to print a simple list using a js template in this order:
User, product list, benefit list, status.
I get a reference error on the value returned.
ReferenceError: i is not defined


I can tell what the problem is but I don't know how to solve it.
I need to use the {{#each}}{{/each}} function to count the number of products and benefits.
I just want to add the count of i on each, {{each}} block to the returned options and context .  
I am not sure what this line returns but I dont' need the values returned just the count.
 ret = ret +  options.fn(context[i]);
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/vendor/handlebars-1.0.rc.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/x-handlebars-template">
var template = 
	<div style="display:inline-block"> 
		 {{fullname}} +" " +

          {{#each products}}
				Products +" " +	{{products}} +" " +
           {{/each}} 
 
            {{#each benefits}}
				Benefits +" "+	{{benefits}}
            {{/each}}  +" "+

 		{{status}} + " " + "Status"
     </div>



var context = {  user: {{fullname}},	
	product:[
	{product: "product1 "},
	{product:"product2"}, 
	{product:"product3 "}
],  
   benefit :[
	{benefit:"benefit1 "},
	{benefit:"benefit2 "},
	{benefit:"benefit3"}
],          
   status: "active"
 };

Handlebars.registerHelper('each', function(context, options) {
  var ret = "";

  for(var i=0, j=context.length; i<j; i++) {
    ret = ret +  options.fn(context[i]);
    product:i;
    benefit:i;
  }

  return {ret, product:i, benefit:i};
});
var html    = template(context);
console.log.html;
</script>
