Re: looking for a short IF statement example.

looking at my example i realiase it was not correct.

this is a better example of how i am wanting to use the If and ELSE IF
statements
but the ELSE IF part does not work. the first IF statement work the ELSE IF
does not.
also if i have the ELSE IF part replaced with another IF line i.e

i know this is not formed right but you get the jist.
if this=1 then print 'this =1'
if this=0 then print 'this is not 1'
....
....
....

without the use of the ELSE IF it still does not work.

below is the example of what i am attempting to do.


the .js file that is called in one of my iframes.

function nameoffunction() {
a=1;
b=2;
c=3;



if (eval(a)=1) {
document.write("a=1");
}
else
{
document.write("a does not =1");
}



if (eval(b)=1) {
document.write("b=2");
}
else
{
document.write("b does not=2");
}



if (eval(c)=1) {
document.write("c=3");
}
else
{
document.write("c does not=3");
}



}






i have looked on the internet for examples of IF ... ELSE IF statements.

they all take the form...

IF (morethanzero=1) {
document.write("more than zero");
}
ELSE {
document.write("not more than zero");
}


so why do all of mine not work
