Thanks for your response, Jeff.
In fact, I would not have asked this if I had not been learning VB. In VB, "Exit
Sub" is used to exit a procedure when no more execution is needed. Today while
amending my own written script I found that if I had something like "Exit Sub"
in JS, my script would have been a lot simpler.
I want to exit the function when a certain condition has been satisfied.
var st = 1
function ColourText()
{
if (st == 1)
{
text.style.color = "red"
// here I want to exit the function if var == 1
}
if (st == 2)
{
text.style.color = "blue"
// here I want to exit the function if var == 2
}
// and some more statements ....
} // function's end
Is there anything in JS like "Exit Sub" of VB for above-mentioned situations.
Thank you,
