Re: looking for a short IF statement example.

If not IF or iF or if
Else not ELSE or ElSe

correct ?

ok but still the If and Else statements does not work.

also i changed the all of the If and Else statements for a single
alert("a")
this works and the alert box shows, i have also added this alert("a") like
so

a=1;
If (a=1);
{
alert("a")
}

but the alert box does not show

i have also tried adding var a=1 in place of a=1 to assign the variable.

but this also does not work.
the alert box does not show.

this has got to be something simple, i think we have gone through all but
the correct way to do this.

again, just to make sure you know where these If Else statements are
going.
i have a file called myscripts.js this file starts...

function myscripts() {
...
...
the rest of the script works ok.
...
until it gets to the bottom before the script is terminated with the final }

where it has all that we have listed above. (the If and Else parts of the
script)


where are we going wrong.
